I'm usually a last minute, fly by the seat of my pants kind of gal. Last year's Resolution was to get on top of holidays and birthdays...to send my love and kisses BEFORE the event...not two weeks later.
I did OK...but not as well as I would have liked.
In August I decided that I wanted a nice Christmas Tree for Jackson's 2nd Christmas. I felt he would be old enough to enjoy the magic. When Jerry and Josh were little, we always had a real tree. (even if it was a tiny tree branch, we had a real tree)
These days, I'm willing to settle for an artificial tree. So I picked the one I wanted on Amazon - on sale in August, and crossed my fingers.
It was too large for my postal options, and was promptly returned to the sender before I even knew what happened.
I REALLY wanted that tree, so I had it shipped to Josh, who agreed to break it up into smaller boxes and ship it to me in time for Christmas. This was early October. He took it to the UPS store, and they wanted more than I paid for the tree to ship it to me!
By this time, I was not sure where I would be for Christmas in 2015, so he held onto it until we knew. Turns out we were moving, so Josh kept the tree over the holidays, and then we had it shipped to our new home. We added a few other items to the shipment and it finally arrived (in April)!!

Ramesh was not impressed with my suggestion of setting up an EASTER TREE for Orthodox Easter (coming in a few weeks) - so the tree is staying in the box in the garage until December.
