It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Our Christmas tree has improved in slight, but significant ways. The stand was hand-crafted by Steve (upholstered in Mohair) then a garland of golden leaves and a red Cardinal complete this sculpture. Why not use a Christmas tree, you ask? Oh anyone can make a pine tree into Christmas, but not everyone can bring Christmas to an old, beat up, highly fought over, Clinger milk can. Oh yeah, and it's green...you know eco-friendly.

so , any "christmas surprise" spiders this year? or did you make sure and clean it out really well? hailey...I can't believe that you are so patient with steve. overlooking all of his little quirks, I think he's quite the catch! or perhaps it's those quirks that make him that way. we can't wait to see the christmas can in real life.

p.s. the red bird is quite the touch.

So that's the most innovative tree I have ever seen. Props to you both.

I love the Christmas can!

I love the name "Christmas Can." Great! Okay the funny thing is that we both decide the Christmas Can was going to be the tree this again. I quite like the bird...it was my idea. Practically perfect in every way.

Christmas Can...huh...I thought of a couple funny jokes...all revolving around bathroom humor though. So not quite 'classy' as a purple crayon should be. YES. CAFE RIO! I love it. I will say yes to Cafe Rio at any time. I'm planning on it.

You should do a slide show too! When I put my life to music with other special effects, I feel like a movie star! -Erin

Hurrah for the christmas can! Maybe it'll catch on! I'll try to get a picture of Craig's face when I show him the picture of the Christmas can. it was GREAT last year!

this can really has evolved! I miss it! But what great memories I have of getting our Rite Aid Christmas bushes together. The finest tree $15 can buy... our most expensive tree yet, though. :)

I saw a pic of jack jack on metta's blog and he's wearing the same sweater from Target that I got for Taylor. it's so funny because I always think, "that will look so great on jack next year!" (that argyll one that's green. I had to have it when I saw the stripes on the back).
