Darn it, I miss the Charlie Brown Christmas Special last night.
This is exactly why Greg never lets me decorate, I always get the wrong size of whatever I'm trying to do. On our front steps we have these 3 big planters that I had lovely huge mums in during the fall (okay so I got the size thing right that time). But now that fall is over (and the mums were dead, dead, dead) I wanted Christmas trees in the planters. I didn't realize how hard it would be to find artificial "outdoor" trees. Bed, Bath, and Beyond had some so woot, there we go!
Only they are barely 2 foot tall and look kinda pathetic in the big planters. Having the odd sense of humor that I do, I decided to buy red ball ornaments and make them my "Ode to the Charlie Brown Christmas Tree." The trees are actually already strung with lights except I don't have an outdoor power strip and there are no outdoor electrical outlets here. Good intentions count, right?
