Rockefeller's got nothing on me...

There's a little story behind this tree, which most of the people that actually read this blog already know. For some reason, last year Cheryl and I were watching Martha Stewart...i know, it's already funny. Anyway, she was talking about a different way to hang your lights on the Christmas tree; she showed how to make your likes look like they are "floating" in the tree by wrapping each branch individually. I believe Sonya, Cheryl's sister, said it best, "you guys hear something and say 'that sounds hard, lets do it!'" I don't think Cheryl really cared to much, but i really wanted to try it, so I went and got some more lights b/c we did not have enough to pull off this project. Well, 2 hours and 1200 lights later, the tree is finished. About a 1/3 of the way through i finally got into a rhythm that worked and started moving pretty good. It's a lot of lights, but it looks really festive and we're happy with it. Hopefully I'll have some more pics up later, I want to hang some lights outside too. So, here's what it looks like so far.
