Coring a Christmas Tree

Today was the start of Decking the Halls here, and for a start, I cored the Christmas tree! Now I know you're thinking, what in the heck is she talking about? Well, I wrapped white lights around my Christmas tree. And not just any part of the tree-- the trunk. The trunk is the middle, as in the core, as in wrapping the core of the tree... get it yet? After I wrapped the trunk, I did another "layer" of Christmas lights about a hand's width away from the trunk. My tree is going to glow like no other! Because as much as I've done, I still have twice as many lights as are on my tree left to put on!
And I don't know if you've noticed, but my tree is so tall that the star is bent over, pressing against the ceiling... good job picking the tree, daddy.
