Christmas trees still beat me at my own game...

So, I managed to convince Erlend that we WOULD get a *real* tree this year - only to have all of the Christmas decorations I ordered never show up. Now I have a lovely five foot tree...and no ornaments. Ruth O' De Nort - you'll be happy to know that you and Erlend think alike: the tree is propped up in a bucket of wet sand. Advent wreath here I come!!!
I just spent The Half Hour Of Doom stringing the lights around my sturdy tree (I have new streaks of grey to show off...) and then I plugged in the string and flicked the switch and nothing happened! **Sigh**
I'll get back to ya'll once I come up with decorations. So far I have two peacock feathers, a string of dead lights, a coyote fur ruff, some artificial roses, a caribou antler...and a few other things I've dug up around the house. Cheers!

There are lots of homemade ornaments you can make if you have the time- paper snowflakes, glittery pinecones, cinnamon dough gingerbread men (google it), ribbon garlands, or popcorn and cranberry garlands- I know you're not near too many stores, but I think those things should be available?
