I'll have a blue Christmas...
Nov. 26th, 2005 12:40 amThe tree is up, and it's blue and silver.
*sigh*
I suppose it is pretty enough, but it also looks kind of depressing. It's like the tree somehow knows this is going to be a sucky Christmas because of all our recent money problems. It doesn't help that Mom hasn't put up any other Christmas decorations beside the tree. Usually our walls are covered with all our elementary school Christmas crafts, the manger's under the tree, the village is out, and our trailer is covered with lights, but I guess Mom decided it wasn't worth the effort this year. I can't say I really blame her -- it's not like we'll have any company, and Laura will probably only come down for a few days -- but still, it's sad.
I wonder if Laura even knows about the blue Christmas tree yet, since she left before Mom put it up. I didn't even know about it myself until Mom snuck out to Wal-mart on Thanksgiving and bought the decorations. I have a feeling Laura is going to be really disappointed when she does hear about it. She's always loved Christmas trees, and she might not even get to put one up in her apartment because her roommate/landlord (Lacy's family owns the condo) is Jewish and isn't too keen on the idea. Actually, that's not true. Lacy did eventually say that she could put up a tree if she decorated it in Hannukah colors (blue and white, ironically), so to come home to find the exact kind of tree she didn't want will probably be kind of a letdown.
