New Tree

When we were downsizing our things in Colorado, we culled the Christmas decorations down to one box and brought our "beachy" ornaments to Bonaire.  We already had a good collection of Christmas decorations but we now have more....which meant we had to get a Christmas tree.


We purchased a 4 foot tree which is a big downsize from our 6 foot and 12 foot trees we had in Colorado.  The Bonaire tree is perfect. We found a perfect place for it and the 50 feet of lights we strung.  Yes, that is not an exaggeration...50 feet of LED lights on a 4 foot tree. It's brilliant.

Storage is a much sought after commodity at our house and in most houses on Bonaire.  Our new tree came in a small box which will fit nicely in our storage hall.

The tree goes up in minutes and it only take 15 minutes of fluffing...compared to a full week of erecting the trees, fluffing and decorating that we did in Colorado.  Life is simpler now which is a good thing.

    We too downsized our tree from the USA to Bonaire. 4ft set up by the pool on our patio last night. Fluffing started but not completed. We forgot to secure it before leaving for the beach this morning. Just dragged a wee tree out of the pool.🤷🏼‍♀️
