Yes it is that time of year again, when Pine and Fir trees rise from their roots and descend on shopping malls across America. But before you seek out one for your house, please consider the following;
Perfect Trees: Perfect trees come in a box. Nature does not do "Perfect", nature does "Unique". No amount of looking, turning or moving it about is going to change the tree.
Needle Drop: All trees will drop needles, they are undead. Yes, they are Twilight Vampire trees (except they sparkle at night). Keeping them watered will keep them undead longer (They Thirst!!!), but they will eventually fade no mater what you do.
Weather Report: Tomorrow's high for Oklahoma will be 27 degrees! Don't come looking for trees tomorrow, don't drag your spouse out in the cold and DON'T DRAG YOUR LITTLE CHILDREN OUT IN A SINGLE DIGIT WIND CHILL !!! Especially if you are "Undecided".
Undecided: It's a friken Christmas Tree! You buy one every year and have bought one for at least the last 20 to 30 years! And yet you act like it is the first time you have ever seen one. You have to have a dozen pulled off their stand and spun about. You have to look at it from every angle and then you turn to your husband and ask "What do you think?"
He thinks it's 27 degrees outside! He thinks you should just pick a tree so he can get out of the cold! He thinks it really doesn't matter since the decorations make the tree!
Of course he says 'What ever you want dear."
Delivery: We now charge for delivery, partially because of the cost of gas, but mostly because of people that expected "delivery" to include;
Bringing it into the house, setting it in the stand, is it straight??, make it straighter, Maybe it would be better over there, Can you move my couch?, Oh my ornaments are up in the attic, Can you get them down for me? Are you sure it is straight????
