So ridiculously gorgeous I can't say enough.  Full and snowy and magical!  It was one heck of a mess setting it up but I didn't worry and just let it be until I got the lights on, then I gave a good vacuum and it came up very easily which was great!  totally worth the mess which I think will be less next year as year one breaking off the loose stuff is a given.  It looks so really that I get a chilly feeling when I'm near it sometimes.  I am getting a white fur tree skirt to complete the wintery look and it will be perfect!
