Glitter, not gold

So Jonathan and I bought this Christmas tree.


It looks really lovely, right? (You don't have to answer if you disagree.) We particularly liked the way the base looks. So we bought our tree, brought it home, and opened up the box. Apparently glitter doesn't really show up in photographs. The design on the base was the same, but it was made out of a thick white and green glitter paste caked onto a metal frame. Not attractive. Fortunately, it was easy enough to pull the frame off, so our base just has four lighted, design-less sides. We laughed it off and went on our way.


The glitter demons apparently weren't done with us yet, though. We ordered a new credit card, so now I'm authorized to spend our money also. Hooray! The design looked nice enough--black and gray stripes.



The cards came in the mail today. They are, indeed, striped black and gray, but they also have glitter all over.

All that glitters does not show up in pictures.

The End.
