Ahh, the warmth of a Christmas Tree!

So, Daniel and I had a bit of a spat over the Christmas tree we have decorating our front yard simply because he didn't have it up in the amount of time I had planned for him to have it done. I am still learning the whole manly "in a minute" meaning of 45 minutes or longer depending on what he is doing.
Anywho, our tree is up outside and looks magnificent. I was under the impression for the longest time that Christmas decorations both inside and out were to help you and your neighbors get in the spirit of the season. Tonight, I have been proven wrong on this issue. I now know that a simple Christmas tree anchored in the center of the yard with PVC pipe, string, tent pegs, and a few hundred lights are not to bring beautiful decoration into your neighborhood, but to keep the furry Peter Cottontails that scamper about warm on cold nights. We came home tonight from visiting with some good friends of ours and their new addition to find a bunny rabbit in the center of our tree. At least he is not eating my pansies anymore!
