So today my wife decides we're going to a damn tree farm for a christmas tree. Nevermind the nice artificial we have in the attic with the real-like needles and pinecones. No, we're gonna go live. Well ok, we've done that a few times.

Get to the tree farm, spent 90mins walking "over the river and thru the woods" looking at either 14' giants or 4' Charlie Brown trees. My wife couldnt admit defeat and say " hey these suck". No, she rationalized a single pitiful one and we spent $68 on this sad excuse that I had to cut down and carry. Get it home and decorate it and im laughing and shes mad at me because she cant admit a failure, ever.

Here it is in all of its glory. Oh best part? I swear on my very life: O Tannebaum from A Charlie Brown Christmas was playing as i took this photo and began typing. How fitting! A tree truly to sum up 2020 : hope for a gold mine get a pile of pig poopView attachment 53139View attachment 53140

Lol oh its one for the books. Wont be forgetting this one anytime soon. Well, this and the first tree we cut. Not for the sentimental value exactly ( which is a large part of it) but the fact when i cut that one, i had to lie down on the ground with the saw in the snow and.....it was in a huge pile of cat poop lol.

Lol dont worry about the name bud, i get called way worse almost daily.

My dad saw the tree and said " What the hell, did a bear bite half of it??" Really brought some levity to it all :pound-hand:
 
It looks a little FRA-GIL-E ;)

We do a nice small display high on a shelf that the dogs cant knock over (or pee on ) the cats/squirrels and birds cant climb or fly in -- and we can keep from getting destroyed....

Happy Christmas Mike and family -- Me and the dawgs will be over in the RV soon ;)

Nothing for us this year. We always go to my folks' 2 hrs away but Dad went into long term care amd Mom is still in the seniors apt but at 86 years old, we have to be sooo careful. My bro lives across the street amd is a teacher, she isn't really part of her bubble.
Our cases have gone up dramatically. We might put up a small tree here we have but must keep Spirit from eating at it or tipping it over. Just 2 of us here. We can have Christmas in May if we have to!
