Last year our Christmas tree pretty much bit the dust. We decided that this year we would get a new tree, those new-fangled ones with the lights already on it. When we went to the store to look at trees we saw the 7 foot trees and they looked so small next to the 9 and 12 foot trees. Since we have a two story living room we knew there was plenty of room for a taller tree. So, we decided that a 9 foot tree would do nicely. Did we stop to think about how we'd actually reach the top to decorate a taller tree? Here is Ken with the big ladder with only one question on his mind, "What were we thinking?"
