Note to Self

YOU can not take a 6 ft. artificial Christmas tree with the lights still on, up a flight of stairs to take through a closet and shove in the space created by the roof over hang.
Put it back in the box and store it in the garage just like you always have. You are not saving time, energy or anything of the sort and it can be very frustrating.
If you want to save time putting together the tree, buy a fresh one and put up with the irrational ravings of someone afraid it will catch fire if not kept watered or also wanting to wire it to the wall so it won't fall on anyone. (He might surprise you by helping put on those said Christmas lights like he did this year. That was so nice.)
Just a note to myself for next Christmas should this crazy thought pass through my head again.

Love the idea of a fresh tree! Hate it when I get an idea of how to "save time" that ends up spending more than doing it the old fashioned way.

You know, they have trees that have the lights wired into the structure and collapse like an umbrella? We don't have one either...maybe someday.
