We add a movie each year (or try to). This year we added "The Santa Clause" Collection.
Day 5: Christmas Chaos
Nothing worse than having spent the day decorating a tree with family for it to fall over but that's exactly what ours did this year. We've never had this happen. Fortunately loss was not extreme. The whole tree went heading for the ground - with me under it! Everyone acted quickly. We manged to get it before it completely landed on the ground but at least 1/2 the ornaments hit the floor. The rest were not where they had been placed on the tree. The lights are all completely shifted. We had to empty the tree and set it up all over again. It's now anchored to the walls. We're not sure what caused it but all precautions have been taken to make sure it doesn't happen again.
We only lost 1 ornament; which was shocking. 2 others had to be glued together but looking at them you'd never know they'd had an accident. We really should have lost more but grateful we did not.
Tomorrow we'll redecorate.....

Oh no! So glad you only lost one...based on the photo it looks like it could have been a lot worse. Glad you've got it anchored and you're right...tomorrow's a new day and you can redecorate! Merry Christmas!!!
That's such a fun shot. Not so fun to clean up the mess- but a very creative photo. Hope things go better next time!
Well, it could have been much worse that's for sure. It is not fun to have this happen though. It takes us hours to decorate the tree. Puts a wrench into my week plans but we'll survive and life will go on!
