4. taking the charlie brown tree out of storage.

5. trimming it while you drink eggnog and blast christmas music.

6. busting out the best tree topper known to man.

7. quality sister time.

8. making edible ornaments...

...with lovelies who act like they're in a sweat shop.

9. getting really excited and taking pictures where you look like a vampire freak.

10. trying not to get mad when said lovelies eat your materials.

11. and last, but certainly not least, admiring the work of your hands.
