Re: Christmas trees

Post by Freed Roger »

We buy a tree from local charity every year. I usually dread the work, but then am ashamed that I dreaded it - it looks aweswome. its actually not so hard after so many years. we have the routine down, and I only need two beers to put the lights on. my older daughter has never had any interest in the tree decorating, but the little one loves it and gets all jazzed.

In college a roomate and I got a small tree, put a few lights on it and decorated it with any paraphanalia we could lay our hands on - made a long beer tab garland strand. bottle caps. etc. it really looked good. Somewhere I've got a pic of that dandy.

No Christmas tree durning Christmas doc? That's just crazy talk. You're really missing out.

I love having a Christmas tree up during the holidays, having all the lights off w/ just the Christmas trees lights lit watching tv puts a smile on my face.

Hey, Jesus saved everyone from sin, so lets put a giant tree, inside our f'n house, and put lights on it. That makes sense.

Blame the Germans.

And if you dare denounce that Christmas tree, you are aiding in the War on Christmas, son.
