Blast from Christmas Past

This weekend, along with Black Friday shopping spree, we got and put up our Christmas Tree.  And as I went to unpack the ornaments, lights, stand, etc......I noticed that lights and stand were missing.  Why you might ask...
welllllll.......

Last Christmas I was 6 months pregnant, and one day while I was off work and the hubby was at work, I decided the Christmas tree needed to come down. right. this. millisecond.  The tree was dead and shedding needles allllll over my floor and I just couldn't take it anymore.  Plus Santa had brought a train table that was cramping my already small living room style.  
So, I quickly took off those ornaments that were important to me, began to take off the lights, and they were a liiitttle tangled.  Oh well Ill just throw them out with the tree too.....also, stand would take to long to get off by myself.  So....
6 month preggo mamma dragged our redneck ghetto Christmas tree complete with lights and stand to the curb.  I did take off the ornaments.  Whoooo felt So much better. 

Oh and for the kicker of the entire story....it was only a couple of days after Christmas, so tree pick up wasnt for about another 2 weeks.  So it sat outside in front of our house for that long.  Did I care? No, Im sure it became a natural habitat for several creatures.  So glad I could contribute to the environment.  As far as the lights and stand?  Welll, we wont talk about that anymore. 
This year though, had the repurchase lights and stand.  $25 dollars i spent in vain, but last year, it totally seemed worth it!
