I'm pleased to report that today, March 24, I finally took our Christmas tree down.
It was time.
Posted by Chuck at March 24, 2004 02:48 PMHere's the thing--I was ready for next Christmas honey. I like to think of it as our being really really early for a change.

Did I mention that mine was down January 2nd?
*ahem*
I'll just gloat myself over to the week's worth of laundry I have piled up now. :-)
Posted by: Kelli at March 24, 2004 04:47 PMI thought the idea was to leave it up until all the needles fall off, and then it can be trimmed and made into a May pole. You kinda jumped the gun, no?
Missed opportunity!
Posted by: David at March 26, 2004 12:02 AMI like the plan, but unfortunately it would't work for us -- it's a fake tree. I think that's what threw me off; I kept waiting for it to dry out and become a fire hazard but it just never happened.
Posted by: Churk at March 26, 2004 09:01 AMI'm a scrooge. No tree. No cards. Bah humbug.
Posted by: Jim at March 26, 2004 03:39 PMFake tree sounds so ugly hon. I prefer environmentally correct tree. And it did look so nice and fresh.
Oh wait, I just looked in the box and it still looks nice and fresh. How exciting is that?
Posted by: beth at March 27, 2004 09:32 AM"Fake tree" is so accurate, though, that's why I used it. "Environmentally correct" could mean low-carb or some bullshit like that.
And how exiting is a fake tree in a beat-up cardboard box? I'm going to go with "Not very."
