We bought ourselves a tree. It came from a nice little thrifty store called Butlers, and it seemed like we bought a lot of decorations, but the place was still sparse. Well, compared to the Christmas Wonderland we usually set up back in Michener. I remember last year, I had all the lights plugged together and operated by just one switch on the wall. Beautiful. Back to the present; we did what we could on a few bucks and it looked pretty good.
Reese was the boss of putting the tree together:

Once the tree was together, the kids played with their new, early Chrismas present, the tree box:
We were only able to get Erika wearing the antlers because Reese snapped his in half before we could get the camera out:
The little plush candy canes were sort of for the kids' benefit. I wanted real candy canes, but no... In the background are Jodi's red glass tea-light stars - aren't they beautiful?
Sure it was only November 7th, but we enjoyed the start of playing the Christmas music and wanted to set it up before I took off back to Canada for graduation. This also contributed to our reputation of crazy Canadians as the Christmas tree markets in Freiburg didn't really even open up until a week before Christmas. The downtown Christmas market did open up at the end of November though, so we weren't too far ahead. Oh, and no, there aren't any finished pictures yet. I guess we didn't think of that. Stay tuned...Jodi and Jeff
