Okay, so we put up the Christmas tree on Friday. Life was good.
Today we realized the tree had a significant lean. Odd but nothing to be concerned about right?
The boys and Bryan were trying to arrange the train tracks under the tree when we heard a crack and our slightly leaning tree started to keel over. Yikes!
Yes, the tree stand of our artificial tree broke. So, what is an engineer & his boys to do? DUCT TAPE to the rescue!!! Bryan and Daniel duct taped the tree stand together and to the tree. Thanks to a little scrap of wood and a serious amount of duct tape our tree no longer leans. Hooray!!
I sincerely hope it will last until the end of the season when the trees go on clearance because I'm too cheap to buy a new one!!
