Trim a Tree

Back home from Christmas in NYC; a good time was had by all. And now, pictures!

John, his wife Kumi, and I went out and got a tree and all the trimmings. It was a cute little thing, about four feet tall, a little homely. Charlie Brown would have been proud. We decorated it with bought and found items, and then realized we didn't have anything to put on the top. I cleverly whipped up a star made out of plastic knives, rubber bands, and tin foil. It was rejected.


John proposed a few more options: an octopus shaped shell? Uh, no thanks. A Mexican couple copulating? I don't think so, John! A cute little red bow, suggested by me? Rejected again. Finally, Kumi went online to see how to make an origami star. She set to work, and had it done in about ten minutes. That was the winner. John spray painted it yellow, and we had our tree topper! Next up: how we hung the stockings...
