Christmastime landed at our house at about 4:00 yesterday afternoon and because we have the worlds greatest "out-of the-box-already-lit-put-it-together-and-plug-it-in" in about 5 minutes flat, we "hauled out the holly" and "decked our halls" and Trailer Park Martha pulled out her big ol' roll of furniture binding stuff and wrapped the tree....
This year our theme is...Simple (that is the "trailer park way" ya know)
Colors: Red & Kraft (are there really any other colors??)
Honestly, I have never had a "theme" but after I wrapped the tree in the binding stuff and shoved the red berries into the branches (that I have had for just over 100 years) I came across a bag of cute little red ceramic birds that I bought after Christmas last year at Target...and they sang to me...
yep, all 15 of them, right from the bag...just sang.
and I would hate to tell you that I got these little lovebirds for $0.25 each...but I did, which made my Trailer Park Tree even better!!!!
How is your list going? Make sure to add to it today...and check off, cross, off, add on..whatever you need to do... Here is mine...more to come....
Loving the simplicity of your tree! I may just have to follow your lead. The little birds and the binding is just perfect!
