TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, November 30, 2011
Greetings Infomaniacs,Over the weekend, my boyfriend helped me put up my first Christmas tree in my new condo. I picked out a seven foot tree, which everyone laughed at me and told me how hard it would be to put up, but it came in three sections and we put it up in minutes! I remember when I was younger having to help my mom put our tree together one branch at at time. It would take forever. Now, it was no big deal. After it was put up, we added some lights, garland, and my collection of ornaments, and voila, a beautiful Christmas tree was made.
Enjoy!
