The Weekly Photo Challenge is Waiting.
I bought a new artificial Christmas tree a couple of days ago. That thing was squeezed so tight, it took me a few hours to pry the branches apart and then fluff them all open. It is like it was stuck in a machine that squeezed it so tight so they could cram it in the box. So I had it all arranged to look like a tree and I bought some red ornaments to put on it. Then I spent the afternoon waiting for my son to come home from school to help me put on the lights. So here is the tree “waiting” to be decorated.
While I am waiting for help with the tree, I am also waiting for the drier to get done drying clothes. Sometimes I open the door and just wait to see if those clothes will magically pick them selves up and march into the closet and just jump on the hangers.
They never do. It would be nice to have magic like in Harry Potter movies….sigh.
After doing the dreaded folding of clothes, which by the way I wait a long time for them to dry. I am always waiting for the clothes to stop drying….so I can put another load of clothes into the drier.
I finally get the tree decorated. I did it all in red. Now I am waiting to put presents under it and will be waiting until after Christmas…..until I can take it down.

Actually I am dreading taking the tree down. It took me hours to decorate it. I hate wrapping up all the decorations and packing them away. I am also wondering how I am going to get it back in the small box it came it.

It looks nicer than the picture. I should try taking a better picture with my nice camera. The battery was dead last night.

Lovely Christmas tree, decorations have become so expensive I am surprised that people can still afford buying a new tree and decorations.
Was your son excited when he saw the tree? The best part is seeing the packages arrive 😉

He is at the age that he does not want to decorate the tree. He used to, now he gripes about helping with the lights.

I love the red Christmas tree. When my girls were little we would decorate it annually in a theme. It was always great fun. As for the drying I have the same thoughts …need magic for the ironing too.

I don’t iron much, just when I want to. The last time I ironed was when I ironed on a rhinestone bird on my shirt. It turned out beautiful.

The drier takes 1 and a half hours to dry the clothes. I used to have a drier that dried clothes in 30 minutes.
