This is a little ghetto, but we waited until the last moment and got a Christmas tree. One usually needs a Christmas tree stand, but...since we don't have one and don't want to buy one we used one of our dead plant's pot. Since dirt doesn't hold as well as screws, we tied the tree to our sofa to ensure that it stays mostly upright. Take that Charlie Brown!

Please not the green leaves and foliage behind our apartment, not very Christmas weather 60 degrees and raining.
