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!!

A little duct tape huh! What would we do without duct tape!!!!! Hooray to the engineer and his boys.
Hahahahaha!!! LOVE duct tape! It is the true fix-all. Thank you for resurrecting cayuco memories. :>) I hope your tree survives the season too, but if it doesn't, there's always Craigslist!
That happened to us, too! Good times.
I never go anywhere without duct tape. Even my kids and hubby tease me about it. But they sure will thank their lucky stars if our tree falls apart and Mom says "no problem, DUCT TAPE TO THE RESCUE!"
What great Christmas memories!
