I had to go into the city to Duane Reade. Got six boxes, put two on the tree, set aside one cane each for the kids. The rest of the canes will go up on Christmas Eve - I know what I'm up against here!
We actually just got the tree yesterday, and I don't even
know but for the first time in my life, being near the tree made me itchy and my throat scratchy too. Thankfully that seems to have eased up today. Never had a reaction like that from a Christmas tree. Google suggests that it's probably not an allergy to the tree, but perhaps a sensitivity to mold or to the terpenes that make the tree smell good. Hopefully I'll never have a reaction like that again! I didn't even get to help decorate it, really.
