I wanted to acknowledge that it is 12-12-12 today. I had forgotten about that and when i was writing dates on something at work yesterday, all of a sudden i remembered and then was super excited and made sure all my surrounding co-workers were noticing the significant date - apparently, this will not happen again in our lifetimes! So i'll have to find something fun to do at that time - 12:12 on the 12-12-12... that's a lot of 12s!!! I think it might be particularly endearing to me since i'm born on the 12th!
And secondly, the fact that Filip the Fir is proudly and quite capably filling a space in our living room. We chose him from amongst his 500 identical siblings at IKEA last evening for a great price and trundled him home, all the while debating what his name should be (nothing like creating a character and identity for your Christmas tree i think to keep things interesting). Was it a boy or a girl? I think we agreed it was a boy - and since we met our friend Phil at the shop, we thought it might be something in honour of him - though we changed the spelling a little to make it more flowing and flowery...
So now our home smells delicious - we joked last night that we should have taken a picture of Filip in the car and told everyone we just bought a new air freshener - really handy portable and other things like that!
We've let him settle overnight - he didn't tip or fall but simply popped open his bound together branches and has given us a very pretty show of how symmetrical and full he is, but yet, full of character since he has nearly four tops - do we need four tree-toppers then???
