It took me a week to finish the tree this year! I brought the box up & for 2 days, a little girl was very curious as to what was inside. We opened the box together & she pulled out the first branch. The tree & lights went up the first night. And she didn't bother it for 2 days. So I added garland. And didn't touch it. So I added ornaments. And she wouldn't leave it alone! 5 ornaments met little hands that day, but since then it's safe. :) Hope she gets insane curiousity again once Santa comes!
