THE WORST CHRISTMAS TREE IN ENGLAND

This is definitely a bad tree. But it's not as bad as the one Mrs. Blog and I bought some years ago when we waited until Christmas Eve to go looking for one. All the tree places were sold out. We ended up buying ours from a man selling trees from the back of his pickup truck in the parking lot of (this is true) a strip bar. It was so scrawny that we weren't certain it had ever actually been a living organism (I'm talking about the tree) (but also the man).

That is £12.5 per bulb, or 483 Celsius!

I'll bet it looked much better after you decorated it with singles.

Morning doc; now go check the previous thread!

[Jeff Meyerson]

So...what were you and Mrs. Blog doing at a strip club on Christmas Eve, Dave?

[oneblankspace]

That's what you get when you sell trees strictly based on height.

Jeff- Looking for Danser, of course.

And Prancer and Vixen, for that matter.

They need to stop fertilizing with that figgy pudding stuff.

Not so bad, really, considering what the Pound Sterling is worth these days. Why, an ounce would hardly buy a pint! Cheers!

Why don't I automatically associate Miami with Christmas trees?

I kind of like the tree. All it needs is a bit of care.

dave, that wasn't a tree, it was a pole.

[Meanie the Blue]

Crossgirl is right, Dave. And that wasn't tinsel, it was tassle.

[Siouxie]

"The Sad Christmas Tree in Peterlee" sounds like a Dr. Seuss title, don't you think?

[ArcticAl]

Dave was this your regular strip club or did you go out of your way to find it? NTTIAWWT

Get this, I was single and happy before I got married a couple of years ago. Not to say I'm not happy now, but while it was myself and I, I chose not to put up tree. My dad showed up a couple of days before Christmas with a tree...for me. A live one. I, to this day, do not know if he bought the tree dirt cheap to get it off the lot or if he stole it. I ended up pulling everything from the garage storage. Now we have a few boxes that get put on the tree. When we get that mansion we'll pull the rest of it out.

I know Dad didn't steal the tree. I have a lucky streak with surrounding myself with very moral and ethical people. Darn my parents for giving me good morals!! And to marry one..Who knew!
