Saggy branches

We got our tree right after Thanksgiving and it was a really
nice tree.  We picked it out and loved it because it was fresh,
full and tall.  By the time we left the tree lot the tree had lost its
luster.  The bottom was cut by about a foot and when we
started adding the ornaments the branches were so saggy
we couldn't get the ornaments to stay on.  They kept sliding
off the tree.  I watered it and gave it some sugar and after a
day or two the branches finally purked up.  I had to put all
the ornaments back on the tree and put it on a stand so that it
would have a little height.  It didn't turn out too bad but it is
already dried out.  I am just glad we got one because there
was a shortage of trees this year.  Two weeks before Christmas
there were no trees to be found.  I guess a shipment got sent
away due to bugs.  Half the island has to get a fake or go without.

Good job decorating girls, you even got the top!
