A week into December, we were being told that we would be able to move into our new house within a week or two. We were really hoping that we would get to move in and have time to put our tree up and have a couple of weeks before Christmas. My gut feeling told me that we should not count on it and should prepare to celebrate Christmas in Josh's parents house. Josh's parents had recently decided to move to St. George and had found a house there that they liked and was available right away. So they were in the process of a very quick move and so did not have a tree. It just didn't feel the SAME without a tree and because of our situation and that gut feeling, we decided to go and buy a little *gasp* FAKE tree to use *just in case*. Meanwhile, our poor REAL tree that we had cut down sat in a bucket of water waiting at the new house.
So on that first Monday of December we had a little family night and decorated our little tree. It was one of those fiber optic ones, and it actually turned out pretty cute for a fake tree. The kids had fun decorating it and we ended up finding a little place for it out of the way of the packing and moving.
