After work I stopped by the $8 tree stand. I have no idea if they had any $8 trees. The man immediately took me to the shorter trees. My first criteria is it has to fit in my car. So I'm looking for a four to five foot tree...if the price is right. So we found a nice short tree with the right amount of thickness. And he tells me it is five foot and it is $8 a foot. Well that is beyond my budget. I'm not spending $40 on a tree that will be tossed out in two weeks. So he said he would take $30 and I bought it. He carried it out to my car and it fit fine.
Got it home and into the tree stand. Our plan is to decorate this weekend. Well this is the crookedest tree. Between the little man and I, we managed to get it mostly upright in the stand. Not perfect by any means, but not terrible either. So now we are set for the next step tomorrow morning.
