No...A few years ago I quit putting up a big tree. <br />Now I put a couple or three little woodsy trees in my antique wagon. I love it much better than the big teree. We can put the presents under and around the wagon. I love your little tree. With presents all around it it will look so pretty and will not smell like the other would.

Sorry-- but you brought me back a delightfully funny memory of my mom --who passed 12 years ago. <br /><br />She had this same dilemma once years ago... and us being broke as an old joke... and living in Texas (and warm in the month of December, some years)...<br />My mother set that tree up in the drive way (right out front for all the neighborhood to see) <br />...AND HOSED IT DOWN. WITH A HOSE AND GARDEN ATTACHMENT FILLED WITH PINE-SOL! <br />oh, yes she did. <br />once it dried-- she took it all apart and carried it in the house-- and PUT THAT BAD BOY UP! <br />oh, yes she did. <br /><br />...and so it goes. Thanks for the memories! <br /><br />PatPatricia @ 9th and Denverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04786692442689958889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4449321536339435803.post-59386926166305458802011-11-20T20:11:38.517-08:002011-11-20T20:11:38.517-08:00Your little tree is very pretty and perfect for th...Your little tree is very pretty and perfect for the room.

At least there will be AWESOME sales after christmas and you can get a new one then for a song...<br /><br />We were almost over-run with mice the first 2 years we lived in our house (Never mind we had 3 cats and 3 dogs at the time!). Everything was put into plastic containers (holiday stuff, clothes, blankets, toys, food, and all my extra toilet paper and paper towels) because the mice got into ever dang thing we owned.

But, in the long run, I feel badly for you, I really do. I've had mice invade my home a few times (not this house so far, knock on wood) and while they are very cute, I do not like them in my house or in any of my stuff! I would have thrown the tree away too. I'm really sorry it could't be saved. Maybe you can get another big one before Christmas. Your decorations and home in the pics look beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Hugs, LeenaLeena Milligan Lanteignehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06456782497555438887noreply@blogger.com
