January 6

Well, today was finally the day to get rid of our crunchy old Christmas tree.

I hate the day when it finally has to go... Christmas is my favorite time of the year and it means that it's a whole year til it comes again.

Anyways, to get it out of the house without ruining the hallway that my mom just painted, she had to saw off all of the branches and take them out in bundles.

It made a huge mess, but we no longer have a Christmas tree in the family room anymore!

We still have plenty of fake ones around though... it takes awhile to completely remove the Christmas from our house.

Also here's an artsier shot of the Christmas tree with most of its branches cut off.

Speaking of photography stuff, I spent an hour or two in Murphy's camera today, looking at camera equipment and wishing I had an extra $5000 lying around.

Too bad that'll never happen... although I did complete a Best Buy survey that is part of a sweepstakes for $5000... Wouldn't that be nice?

Anyways enough about my depression about the cost of photography!

I'll just have to find some way to earn some money.
