No Home For A Tree


Am I the only one who feels sorry for the trees that don't get picked in time for Christmas?

I know - kinda sappy.

But don't worry, they'll soon be turned into useful products such as tongue depressors, golf tees and particleboard!

They do look very sad :(

I don't feel any more or less sorry for these trees as for the ones that did get to someone's house. Dead is dead. Up here in our isolation, we have to cut our own from the wilderness so any tree that doesn't get picked gets to live another year.

I am not suggesting that someone cause this, but imagine if those trees caught fire. That would be a row of flames fairly quickly.

Wow, Russ! I didn't take you for the pyro!

Ha!

But you bring up a good point, right now all across North America are dried out trees sitting in living rooms that are just looking for an excuse to go up in flames . . . that is unless you've got a fire-retardant artificial tree that paid itself off in no more than 2 years!!!!

Hmmm, I may just go flick a lit match on mine right now just for the heck of it! I can't see how anything bad could possibly come of it!

Thanks for the fun idea, Russ!

Hey Cas,

Don't they? That's why I feel sorry for them!

Hey Lawn,

You're right - dead is dead. But at least they could have fulfilled the purpose for which they were cut down!

That's why I had to go artificial - I couldn't handle the guilt of tossing a dried out tree after Christmas!

I bet the Greenies get even more bent out of shape this time of year because of this!

Thanks for stopping by,

W
