The secret to setting up a Christmas tree in less than 2 minutes.



I don't mean to brag, but I genuinely feel that I can be a professional Christmas tree "setter upper". Not sure if there is much money to be made in that business, but I'm quite sure that I could probably make a whole bunch of it. In my lifetime, I've set up and taken down so many Christmas trees, that I believe that I could probably do it blindfolded. Seriously.

In this video, I won't disclose all my secrets. But, I will show you that it is humanly possible to set up and decorate a Christmas tree in less than 2 minutes.

Disclaimer: As you can probably tell by the passing outdoor light today, the actual time from moving the couches to putting on the tree topper has been compressed in this video. To be totally honest with you, it probably took me somewhere in the neighborhood of 2-3 hours to set the tree up - with at least 1 1/2 hours of that devoted to injury (brain) recovery.

Boy, we sure could use your "setter upper" skills in OUR home! 'Loved the video. Somehow I ended up on Quisp n' Quake - from Facebook, I think that's where I began my journey. Anyway, LOVED the cookies. Gingerbread's the best. Emma just finished a History Day project today - on Lisa & David's mom, Aiko - I ate gingerbread cookies while Emma worked. 'Am thinking of making a gingerbread barrack. Is that perverse? xoxo cousin carolyn
