And bah humbug to you, too.

Real trees are banned from the building. Not only are they considered a fire hazard, but proper disposal isn't really possible. HOWEVER, the owner also owns a tree farm. He supplied a tree for the lobby. He also supplied an illegal tree for the manager. I was not even asked if I wanted one. I would have actually enjoyed my very own little tree.

Wait, real trees are banned from where you LIVE?!? The place that you pay someone for the right to stay? Can they do this legally?

Or is this at work?

Maybe you could get a small fake one? Then you'll have it every year.

We ended up getting a fake tree when we lived in AK the first time. We lived on an island and the barge with all the trees on it (coming up to be sold, that is) sank. So we went out and chopped down our own tree (probably illegally), but we found out that those real trees in the wild aren't that great as Christmas trees. The needles were like *real* needles. If you accidentally bumped into it, it was like getting porcupine quills in your skin.

So...that was our last year with a real tree. hehe We bought a fake one the next year and never looked back. We finally replaced it last year, but we had the same small fake tree all these years. The new tree is fake, too. I probably wouldn't have any tree if the kids didn't want to put it up and decorate it every year. It's pretty, though.

I wasn't going to get a tree this year. Hello? Puppy wandering the house alone all day, tempting tree standing in doorless living room! But the asst. director of the museum pressured the garden club into giving me one of the leftovers from the party decorations. Unfortunately, it wasn't the cute little perfect three footer. No! She was very proud to tell me that she got them to leave the six foot tall one, with branches so thick that I can't even get close to the trunk. This despite the fact that I told her I wasn't planning on having a tree this year.

And I have to put it up and decorate it, because now the whole town is going to be driving by to say they saw it in my window.

I put it up and put the lights on tonight. It is kind of pretty. Guess I'll have to come up with some kind of barricade during the day.

I wonder if it will make it to Christmas?
