The tree we wanted went on sale, so we picked it up and set it up. The new one has 3000 small LEDs vs the old one where we string up about 400 incandescent lights.

I started my photo-a-day project on September 6th, 2004 on livejournal, transferred it here around 2011. All photos were taken on the day they're posted...
