Opulence

My first full attempt at decorating a christmas tree.

My sister, Melriza, brought home an eight-foot tall christmas tree, with clasped-in fairy lights, and four types of pine needle replicas. Quite a manufacturing feat actually. The tree is a prototype for their design line-up of trend forecast for 2008, she claims. She did dream of having a nice tree for christmas so she went through the fuss of bringing it home from China.

The tree is beautiful as it is, but then i didn't have a choice but to decorate it too, in time for christmas, and for our visiting relatives. I tried to keep the trimmings few anyhow, and details subtle so they would not drown the tree's needles.

The christmas globes are from SM Homeworld. Gold wire globes are from the Gateway Mall. Chandelier crystals, and acrylic charms are from the tutubiworks collection.

I know i did dream of having a tall and grand tree for christmas when i was younger. I suppose that is the reason for not really minding buying the ridiculously expensive trimmings, and much to Ma's apprehension. They will be used to brew style inspiration for the christmases to come too. And the christmas star? It should be hung by Mushu on the eve.

Have a Happy Christmas. Be safe.

Hugs, and more hugs...
