Last summer, mom and dad got me a 4 foot, ready-lit Christmas tree from their church's rummage sale. When I opened the box yesterday to put it up, I discovered that said box also contained a 'classic' Nutcracker figurine (one of the big ones, that cost about $50 in the shops) and some other light strings, including chili-pepper light covers. Neither of those might be exactly what I would buy on my own, but still. Score! The tree looks a little funny with ornaments only on the top, but Inigo got too curious if I put them lower down, so. And it's festive.
Here is where I point out that I am not ONLY watching Merlin for the Merlin/Arthur slash.
