Peculiar Picture #20

  
 Another Christmas has come and gone and I’m sitting here staring at the tree and already thinking about the complicated process of taking it down, boxing up the delicate ornaments, folding up the tree skirt and all the other things that make our tree pretty. Mrs. Chatterbox once had a crazy aunt who one year took a piece of plywood, nailed roller skates to it and used it as a Christmas tree platform. The decorated tree was kept in the garage under a tarp and on December 1st she’d kick it in from the garage and roll it into position in the living room. A week after Christmas she’d roll it back to the garage and throw the tarp back over it. Mrs. Chatterbox’s crazy aunt is starting to seem like a genius.

Be sure to add my NEW URL (chubbychatterbox.com) and not the old one  I’m told this is extremely uncomplicated and I hope some of you will give this a try and let me know how it works.

  1. My Mom threatens all the time to do that - buy a 3-foot, pre-lit, already-decorated tree and pull it from the closet to plop up on top of a table each year. My Dad, who loves Christmas decorating, overrules so far. It does seem very smart though!

    I JUST got our living room less cluttered and am also staring at the tree, and the fireplace. Hope you are having a relaxing, peaceful day.

  2. I have a friend who shrink wraps her tree and totes it up stairs to the spare bedroom. Hey, I'm beginnig to agree with Mrs. Chatterbox's aunt and my friend...I love to decorate, I hate to deconstruct. Happy New Year...Oma Linda

  3. I've wished I could roll our tree out instead of spending hours assembling and disassembling.
