Me and Dallas made up our minds that we were not going to spend too much money on a Christmas tree this year. We started looking on craigslist to see if we could get a good deal but every time we found one and called, it was already gone. One morning Dallas was sitting on the computer trying to find one and he hit the refresh button and there was a listing for a free Christmas tree, the same size and type we were looking for. We were so excited, we jumped on the car and went to their place hoping that they still had it. When we got there and the guy saw our little car (mazda protege), he tried not to laugh and commented that it might not fit. We didn't care, so we just put the tree in the back seat and since the door wouldn't shut all the way, he had to bungee it shut. It was so cold that day so we were driving home freezing with the heater on full blast and the door half wide open. Good thing it was only a 5 mile drive. They were giving it away because only 40% of the lights worked on it, so we just had to buy a few strands, now it works perfect.
We LOVE our tree and we had so much fun picking the decorations and decorating it. Now we can't wait till Christmas!!
