Can you believe I'm actually blogging again? Amazing I know, but here's something so wonderful I had to share the news. We splurged this year and bought a prelit tree on 75% off clearance at Target. I wanted one because now that my kids are "grown" no one wants to cheerfully help put the tree up. Since the actual tree assembly and hanging lights is the worst part of Christmas, this will make things smoother next year. However, I wanted an easy way to keep this tree intact during the year, so we found an upright tree storage bag that compresses the tree for you.
Grant just helped me bag up our tree and it took about 10 minutes! Next year we bring the tree into the house, unzip the bag and pull it down, puddle the bag around the base of the tree like a skirt, and the tree is ready to plug in and decorate! For now our tree is standing in a corner of our garage but the bag is designed with many handles for hanging or carrying. Ours might live in the garage all year.
I ordered Santa's Tree Bag from HomeMarketplace.com for around $40. Check it out!http://www.thehomemarketplace.com/HomeMarketPlace/Shopping/ProductDetail.aspx?CID=Christmas+Holiday&SCID=Trim+the+Tree&CollectionID=DC0000637&num=230
