O Tannenbaum !

Nothing brings the Christmas cheer into homes like old Christmas Carols playing on the radio, a brightly decorated fir tree sitting in the corner while the warm fire wards off the cold.

Ok. Back to reality. Minus the fireplace, I do have a 4 feet tall artificial Christmas Tree and a bunch of complementing ornaments to go with it. So last Saturday, I set about to put up the tree in the living room. Thinking that the tree-dressing process wouldn’t take long since I had done it once last year, everything went smoothly until I started to unravel the Christmas lights. It ended up taking almost 3 hours.

Anyway here are some pics from the Christmas Tree-Dressing process.

O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
du kannst mir sehr gefallen.
Wie oft hat nicht zur Weihnachtszeit
Ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
du kannst mir sehr gefallen.
