Le sapin de Noël

By the time Thanksgiving was over Jim and I had purchased our plane tickets to spend Christmas in the US.  I'll admit I had mixed feelings about going home.  On the one hand this would be our only Christmas together in Switzerland, on the other I hadn't seen my family and friends since August.  In the end we decided to go back.  But in return I demanded our own Christmas tree.   Even if I had to buy all new lights and ornaments and it died while we were gone, I wanted my own tree.

We picked up the tree at Jumbo a Home Depot esq store in Geneva.  And I found the lights and ornaments at Ikea and a local department store.   It was a little sparse but over all I liked the tree.
