Christmas season is always a good time to indulge in buying gifts for ourselves and families. We started off quite well, in fact 3 weeks before Xmas. we found ourselves looking at those nicely done up xmas trees in shopping malls and pictured these assorted trees right in our home, flashing its multicolored lightings and its prismatic accessories dangling all around. "We'll get one for our new home this year." We thought.
In Ikea, there were many different kind of assortments to choose from. We liked the idea of having only a single colored ornaments on the tree and chosen red from the varieties of gold, black, purple and silver in the stockpile. The ornaments comes in shapes of seashells, spiral, star and spherical forms with glossy or matt finishings. There was also a string of ball lights, each light was encapsulated in a white ping-pong ball-like capsule and non-flickering. This would look very nice on the tree with the all red ornaments. We snapped 3 boxes of ornaments and the lights into our baskets and checkout.
We thought of buying the tree from Giant when we saw it was advertised for only $19.90. But upon seeing the tree, we decided not to get it because the greens are quite bare. We wanted a tree that looked lush and healthy, even though it is a fake tree! "We will get a better tree in Concourse next week ." We thought.
As next week unfolds, von received news that she has to go to Suzhou again for 2weeks. So we decided that we will not be getting the Xmas tree this year. As for the ornaments we had bought, we returned to Ikea intact and unopened. They has this 30-day returned policy... :) Its a pity though but I'm sure we willget the xmas tree again next year.
Merry Xmas to all.
