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?
