I'm not usually a Christmas person--it's usually not until the week before (or sometimes even later) that I start to feel the Christmas spirit. But for some reason, this year, I am feeling very spirited. Since I had the day off of work today, I decided to put up my tree--way earlier than ever before.
It's not exactly a Charlie Brown tree--but it is small and a little crooked. I love my tree though; the ornaments all coordinate with the decor of my apartment. If I may say so, it is a very classy tree.
I also got to bring out my Nutcracker Suite music box that I look forward to every year. It's not your average music box--it has four rotating scenes and 8 different music pieces from the ballet.
Here are some pictures of my tree and music box--excuse the poor photography, the tree lights and motion in the music box made pictures a little difficult.

| The first scene--including the rat king in the background. |

| This is what it looks like when off--it takes up most of the space on my side table! |

| Silver bird ornament with white feathers |
 |
| The whole tree. It always leans to the right a bit... I try not to let it bother me too much |
 |
| I found these bulbs at a craft store--the pink color was perfect! They're not pictured but I also have hand-blown blue glass ornaments. They match all the blue accents in my place. |
