~ it's all finished! ~

~ our old artificial tree ~
O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O=O
~ was decorated this morning ~

~ the once a year spectacle for all ~
O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O*O
~ a christmas tree full dressed for giving ~
~0O0~0O0~0O0~0O0~0O0~0O0~0O0~0O0~
~ cleverly adorned in strings of colored lights ~
(*)~(^)~(*)~(^)~(*)~(^)~(*)~(^)~(*)~(^)~(*)

~~ of two different shapes and of two different colors~~

Color can be had just above the compose box (font color)... simply highlight what words or symbols you'd to play with and click the color you want... voila! ;)

Thank you SP...

thx, steve... i think decorating with normal ornaments on a normal tree (artificial or not) would be far less time-consuming than what I had done here... damn expression! :lol:
