The Annals of the extremely diverse, artistic, literary, and musical lifestyle of a Charlotte Mason education-loving family. Our philosophy, even though our children are all grown now, is to allow for time and space in each day to be present for those memorable moments; the ones both on and off the calendar.
"'Stay' is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary."

Yes, it is pretty skinny. The space issue was our main reason for buying it a couple of years ago. What it lacks in surface area because it is skinny, it makes up for in height. It is nine feet tall, but works out well in our LR. It is the only room in the house with a vaulted ceiling of 10 feet.
It takes a lot of lights~1200 or more! Every year it is typical to get most of the lights on, then my arms wear out before I finish the job. When I go back the next day to finish up, I find that some of the lights are not working (argh!) because of a short in the wires. I'm glad I like doing the lights, otherwise I'd opt for a smaller tree!!

Very pretty!
Is it is as skinny as it looks? Our tree is very fat and I don't like how much space it takes up.
