Well, it was raised on a tree farm, chop down, tossed onto a giant truck with a couple thousand others... Then, manhandled into a tree lot, it was showed around by who-nose-how-many shoppers. Today it was mashed into a plastic sleeve, tossed onto our car, tied down tight... And driven across town. Then we bundled it into the house and jammed it into a stand. So, yeah, the poor thing has a kind of thin place. Drape it in plastic and wire. I'm not taking it back.

Kind of early for a christmas tree ain’t it? It’s not even the week of Thanksgiving, nevermind that I’ve been blasting Trans-Siberian Orchestra since the day after Halloween.

The skimpy part of the tree always faces the wall or corner. Now the real question…. why is Larry buying the tree … now? ….. .. How is he going to keep it alive, needles fresh and squishy, the ahhhhhhh , ahhhhh fresh tree smell going .. until the Epiphany? The date when all the decorations and the tree must come down.That’s 50 days!!! to keep that tree looking like you just bought it home and not a fire hazard.
