A Tree Glows in Brooklyn

Mr Taurus and I put up a Christmas Tree together in his Brooklyn apartment. Nontraditional, yes, but neither of us has bothered to even get a tree in the past few years

(no Ken doll tree topper is complete without being bound to a Rainbow Brite sherbet star)

When I was in college, I convinced my sister that a white tree was the Modern choice and tres, tres chic. Even though my mom isn't the biggest fan and I can't come home, my family still puts the white tree up every year

Mr Taurus surprised me with a bit of MD in NY

(before)

It 'twas such a sweet Christmasy evening together and our own way of celebrating

Mr Taurus getting in the spirit

(pink boas and dollar store flowers... still needs more)

(I'm not tall)

(oops, I forgot: the tinsel goes on the tree)

surveying the progress, Mr Taurus realizes exactly what the tree needs

More dolls!

(he's a perfectionist always looking for ways to heighten the environment)
