We're also going to be out of town for the last part of the year here, but hey, at least we can be festive in the meantime! Of course, we'll be spending a lot of time at our desks becoming master archaeologists and goblins and and... stuff.
Our tree is fake and pre-lit. It takes all of 5 minutes to get it up and decorated. :) Minimal ornaments and there you go, back to the other stuff on my list.
