Those are available at the bookstore, or at least online.

I'm looking for a white Christmas tree to start my Duke Christmas Tree, will probably get a 3-4' tree.

I doubt there are any trees around here now. You might find one at a Christmas store. Not sure the Christmas shop is still there but there was on of I40, in Burlington. I can't remember the name but I'm sure you can goggle for the info. You might want to wait until the season hits us again. Good luck.

OMG! I am so excited! I like the orange and white one!

I usually take my Duke Christmas tree down at the end of the season, but it's just so much fun to continue to look at it. I think I'll keep it up next week so that Sam can enjoy it while he's here.

Agree! Ya know, I was coming home for lunch the other day and noticed something strange on this house as I passed by! I quickly looked and guess.....










Yes, it was ice-cycles still hanging from the gutters... and I'm thinking at that moment, flashback, of me freezing my arss off to put up those things for my lil girl (she was probably 1 and didn't really give a :poo:, but I thought she dd and that's all that was important; ME hanging over 30 feet in the air and my X hoping she hears a slammmm!!!!! (retrospectively speaking of course!), .... Oh gosh, I hope it was him!!!! I need that kind of spotter, so they only went up 1 year! I might be inspired to do again, but we'll see! the person will have to capture my heart and have A LOT of money OR ... ! LOL! ;) :D :D :D Well, the capture the heart thing, is overrated! :-? ;)

I am going to purchase these Championship balls!

I am going to wave my championship balls in the face of all tarheel fans!

And if they touch or worse, bust my championship balls, they die!

Beautiful! And it's not overdone. There's plenty of tree visible through all the ornaments. Well done! :happy-bouncyblue:
