decorating the tree

First out:
SOB! I miss my sofa!
We needed floor space in the living room for pup, so one sofa had to go. Since mine was in a bad state when I bought it 6-7 years ago, we decided it was time to part. It would need new clothes if meant to stay, and I have no energy for that. So now my first piece of own furniture is gone. I miss it, the ones we still have are no way near as comfy.

And now to the x-mas tree...before decorations...

and after...

and with the lights...

And now for some of the decorations up close:

Bought in NYC on Pier 17 last year, when we were there on our honeymoon. Picture in the frame taken in Brooklyn Heights, with the Brooklyn Bridge in the background.
