Fakey Fake

December 8th marks the beginning of Christmas at our house (as it's the day after Ray's birthday). We decided to stick with the homemade fake tree this year -- basically it's a wrought iron garden spire wrapped with a few fake garlands. It's not bad, honest.

The garlands were a little dusty, so I decided to try cleaning them while truly fake-ifying the tree...cedar-scented Pledge! Fake looking AND fake smelling! I thought about burning a few candles to lessen the Pledge smell, but maybe the fumes and flame aren't a good combination.

(Okay, okay, I'll go back to studying.)
