Finally! The decoration has been adorned with trimmings. The most difficult part of the process was making sure the ribbon spans the entire length of the tree, and that the Christmas lights should also adequately cover the tree. We did not put that many lights in it; I used 5 cords of lights with 100 bulbs each, totaling 500 white, steady lights.
The fun part was putting in the balls, icicles, poinsettias, and the Looney Tunes figures. I still have M&M characters but my wife said the tree is already over-decorated. Hmmm... I'll sneak in a couple of these figures every night until they're all hanging on the tree... hope she doesn't read this ...
Uy, paskung-pasko na kagad sa bahay nyo. Lagot ka sa mga nagka-caroling. Puputaktihin ka agad. Alam nilang buhay na buhay sa yo ang diwa ng pasko e. Sige na nga, bagamat maaga pa e, Meri christmas to you. :-)
ReplyDeleteSalamat Tito Rolly! Sa hirap ng pagtayo ng Christmas tree na to, we figured we might as well enjoy it for 2 months. hahaha. Yun nga lang, magiging magnet ito sa carollers ... magtatago nalang kami sa kwarto.

ReplyDeleteganda naman ng christmas tree... nakaka-aliw. sana this year makapagtayo naman ako ng christmas tree kahit na maliit lang.. para lang ba may christmas spirit din kami dito sa apartment.
ReplyDeleteAte Sienna! Yup, tamang tama ang cute na Christmas tree sa apartment. Display mo tapos hopefully the others will catch on and buy trinkets na kahit pa-isa-isa para isabit. By Christmas, makulay na sya!
ReplyDeleteHi Watson! Thanks for dropping by my site, and thanks for linking my hardin.
ReplyDeleteI remember the first time we had a Christmas tree here (pinutol yun, tunay), pagkatapos ng Jan 6, niligpit ko na kasi di ba sabi nila Pinoy daw pinakamahaba ang celebration ng Pasko? Na-dyahi ako patagalin. Nung makita ng mga in-laws ko sa kakahuyan yung puno, nanghinayang...sila daw, habang hindi naninilaw yung tree, naka-display lang...Kaya this time, baka abot ng February ang Christmas tree namin (oh di ba? Valentine tree na, lagyan ko na lang ng hearts). Pero traditionally, my hubby's family gets the trees after Thanksgiving, at the same time we make wreaths.
Miss ko na carollers...na lagi kong sinasabihan, "Kayo na naman?...Galing na kayo dito ah!"
Hello Manang! Naalala ko tuloy ate ko. Kumuha sya ng pine tree ng October (syempre nagtanim rin kami ng dalawa bilang kapalit). Pero pagdating ng December, naninilaw na sya, pero pinilit pa rin hanggang December! Kwela talaga ate ko.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas po. Ang ganda ng photos sa hardin blog nyo Manang! Mahilig din kasi sa halaman parents ko: Nanay ko, sa mga bulaklak, yung Tatay ko naman, mga gulay.
