LOVE. THIS. TREE.

This is our second year of using it. Last year, we adorned it with a topper and red/gold ornaments. It shone like a star in our living area and brought a lot of cheer to the room.

This year, however, I am pregnant. With all of the morning sickness I had in the first trimester, I couldn't even think about putting ornaments on the tree or decorating. My husband literally dragged this up from the basement, arranged it in less than ten minutes, and there it stayed for the season. I was still too sick to put ornaments on it, BUT -- it looks amazing, even without ornaments. 

No portions of lights have gone out, the flocking looks great, although it does shed occasionally. It's important to note that we have a cat that likes to attack the flocking...so that's part of the reason.
