This year Tony and I decided we would put up our first Christmas tree and it has turned into a very pretty arch enemy. It was all fine until one of our dogs started to take the ornaments off the tree, thankfully we didn't buy expensive ornaments. So we decided to "solve" this by moving all the ornaments up to the third branch so she couldn't reach them. We were outsmarted my a dog, she decided to get on the couch then onto the side table and pull a little pretty bird off and destroy it. I had felt and Styrofoam all over my apartment literally from one end to the other. It was not fun to pick up..
Then the caterpillars...
When we got the real tree we shook it off pretty good or so we thought, there must be some caterpillar eggs on the tree because the dogs have every so nicely put two of them on me which results in me screaming and throwing it off of me. Its a little tiny caterpillar and it feels oh so gross!!!..
Don't get me wrong I love having our tree up but I am pretty sure our dogs think it gets our attention more then they are (which it is not) and the little bugs on it gross me out!! I am going to buy a fake tree next year after Christmas so it'll be on sale..
Did I forget to mention that I am also allergic to it, if I stop taking my Allegra I cannot breathe and have to use my inhaler.
I was totally going for Charlie brown too and the red skirt I know does not match but I couldn't find a cute tree skirt so I just grabbed the cheapest one I could find.
Merry Christmas!!
