Our family tradition dictates that there is no shopping to be done on "Black Friday". Instead, we put a pot of turkey noodle soup on the stove to simmer for an easy supper, pop our favorite Christmas CDs into the stereo and make (and drink) gallons of eggnog while trimming the Christmas tree.
A few years back, I finally relented and let Pierce choose an artificial tree. He had a point: our family room has a 20 foot ceiling and even a large tree looked puny standing in the corner. We decided to go with a 15 foot artificial tree.
Although I dislike digging the tree, lights, topper and ornaments out of the garage and I dislike the mess involved in the entire process, I absolutely adore the time spent with my family and the way the Christmas Tree lights up the family room.
And my older cat, Layla, loves to curl up under the tree and relax.

Your tall, narrow tree is cute; and your day of togetherness sounds very nice.
