Get the Biggest Aluminum Tree You Can Find, Charlie Brown

28 Nov Get the Biggest Aluminum Tree You Can Find, Charlie Brown

This year marks our tenth (!!!!!) Christmas season together.

All the more reason to go over-the-top with our yuletide decor. Before we were even finished eating RB’s pancetta-sage stuffing or C’s pomegranate couscous left over from Thanksgiving, we set out to deck the halls of our house.

Not the most “horticult” thing in the world, but — confession, y’all — our tree is aluminum. It isn’t pink the way Lucy would have wanted it, but it sparkles with a certain space-age romance.

Ornaments include a Rottweiler windchime, a miniature chandelier (hostess gift from our Christmas rager of ’11), and oversized bulbs we stuff between the branches. The paper snowflakes we made a few years ago with some friends one afternoon; now we hang them from the ceiling, a la Buddy the Elf.

Still ISO: a star for the top of our metallic faux-fir. Any suggestions?
