Times have changed.

I remember trimming the tree when I was a little kid.  It was a lot different than what we did tonight.  Yeah, you know what's coming now.  An illustration good enough to be a photograph*.  We're going "before" and "after" this time.  Just a heads up, this tree is pre-lit with fiber optic lights.  We didn't have those as children.  I'm still on the fence when it comes to pre-lit trees.  I think stringing the lights on a tree is an art.  It's a huge pain, but that's what art is, right?  A huge pain.


Majestic, isn't it?

Pre-lit trees? Sounds like cheating. Why don't they just come with meaningful ornaments too.

I'm smothering my skeptical side because I truly believe you drew two pretty identical illustrations of Christmas trees. And that's pretty darn impressive. Anybody can draw a tree. It's an ARTIST that can draw the same tree twice almost exactly the same.

I just noticed the two light blue ornaments on the top of the second tree. VALIDATION.

You should take a picture with a better camera. I'd like to see what your tree looks like!
