The differences between Brad and I:

He…searched high and low for the perfect Christmas 2006 ornament to symbolize our relationship, a tradition we started last year.
I…was ready to settle for any ornament that wasn’t completely lame.

He…put the whole tree together (we got an artificial one this year) by himself.
I…sat on the couch and watched (I was still sick, so I have an excuse).

He…had all his ornaments carefully wrapped and packaged in their original boxes, as is his way.
I…had all my ornaments shoved haphazardly together in a bag.

He…took his time hanging each ornament, stepping back to view the tree and identify the perfect spot. After hanging each ornament, he stepped back again to ensure that he had selected correctly.
I…threw ornaments on the tree with very little attention to how they looked or what gaps needed to be filled.

He…put together a pretty sweet christmas tree with very little actual help from me.
I…love him for it.
