Our first ever Christmas tree
The entry of our kid into our lives however, changed me a bit. So last year was supposed to be the first time we had one, but the work schedule back then didn’t permit me to do so – to build one out of my collected used badminton shuttlecocks, that is. But this year, I have no more reasons not to do it. And so, it has begun…
Smashed shuttlecocks recycled as a Christmas tree. I Started stacking it last Thursday, and now it is almost done.
I think I've already convinced her that shuttlecocks can become one good Christmas tree. She's doing the Belen characters, also coming out of these badminton victims.
In the next few days, this art creation, if I may call it, will be painted – which luckily, majority of the green paint was recovered on the floor, after Marcus broke the container and spilled almost half of it probably thinking that it’s how things should get done.

Looks good, tastes good.
Wifey, as always, prepared a very healthy green salad for our snack this afternoon. Now, this is what I call green, good and real…not like the fake plastic Christmas tree. I can say, she’s loving the tree I made. I haven’t check though if there were worms hidden under those lovely and delicious veggies.
By the way, those are leftover Jollibee chickens. She's a creative cook just as I'm a creative Christmas tree designer...hahahaha.
Mood: 2/10 Honks! (lots of things get me excited nowadays.)
