Because Mom sent me one from Oregon in the mail! A small tree totally fits in a mailing tube (well, sorta, more on that below). It made it though and I decorated my tree tonight with a combination of my personal ornaments--sent by Mom my first year in DC--and found items around the house. I might add a few more found things too. Here it is my white fir tree, all 68 cm of it!

| The chains are a couple of (costume) pearl necklaces. I used curls of shiny ribbon too. |

| You can see my leaf on top in this angle. |
Of course here's what the tree looked like when it arrived.
 |
| Good thing it isn't breakable! |
 |
| It perked right up after a day in a bucket of water. |
Thanks Mom. It's really lovely to have a touch of Oregon in my living room for Christmas!
