meet e.t., the christmas tree

Adrienne and I have lacked the enthusiasm to decorate our house for Christmas this year - we'll be out of town for the big day and we've been focusing all our time on finishing our kitchen.  But the holiday bug bit us this weekend, so we picked up this 4-footer and busted out the ornaments and lights.  I'm glad we did - it seems criminal to forego the smell of living-room-pine-tree for the month of December...

I think this tree looks like E.T. - Adrienne disagrees.  All I see is a long neck, big head, and spindly arms and fingers.  E.T. indeed.
