Might want to read about The Babbs Switch fire on December 24, 1924 down in Oklahoma.
My county is sold out of trees. They are coming in now from PA.
Looks like the dog doesn’t want to hike his leg on it.
I can’t think of a better way to end one of the worst years of our lives than to see the tree go up in flames and burn the house down on New Years eve...........LOL!
I had to borrow a little four foot fake tree from someone who doesn’t put it up anymore. Decorating is easy, only one box needed. Cats can’t climb it this year, but there is one napping under it with overthrow on her mind. Should have set on chicken wire instead of a fuzzy blanket.
Grandson has shown he can tip my daughter’s 9 foot tree, and he can’t even walk yet.
Guy wires, honey. There’s a reason your mom always has guy wires.
My aunt (now deceased) was of the artsy-fartsy crowd and loved to do things “different”.
One year, her Christmas tree was a limb she found out behind her house. Brought it in, leaned it against the wall...and decorated it. It was actually very well done and pretty cool.
At the age of 15 I had a house fire caused by a dry old tree and some old bulbs (my father never threw anything away). And as someone who had to drag her crazed mother out of our house (”I have to go upstairs and get the important papers,” she said as black smoke billowed upwards), I can reassure this person that while it may be 2020, a house fire is not something you want. Ever.
I feel this guy’s pain about shopping for a tree later in the season. One year we went to the nursery (“hunt your own”) and they had already closed (this was also about the 16th or so). Last year’s tree had zero needles left by the time it hit the curb. This happens when you have the tree up past Epiphany.
