We Hung The Christmas Tree, Really�

2001-12-11

I've been wanting to take pictures of the Christmas tree for a while. It looks more spacey this year. We have more ship ornaments, and the big blue ball helps a lot. This year, I have the camera, so I took the pictures. Of course, they didn't come nearly as well as I'd like.

I kept bumping into the thing as I was taking pictures. It would turn slowly. It looked like a giant space station. The fact that some of the lights blink slowly off and on just adds to the impression.

There's someone in a nearby neighborhood that makes these huge spheres out of plastic cups, with lights pushed through at the bottom. They look really cool. I should just buy one. I'll probably never get the thing made before we take the tree down, but I just have to try to make one myself.
