I planted some 4’ evergreens this year, 1 is 99% dead but it still has one super green branch…I ain’t giving up! (my avatar is 1 of the deaths, my green thumb)
One time, my dopey little brother didn’t put out our mom’s Christmas tree on tree collection day. So, it hung around in her yard for a whole year and eventually I threw it out on next year’s collection day. With bits of tinsel still hanging on it, it looked worse than the tree here. When the garbage man picked it up to throw it on the truck, he stood it up and just stared at it. I always wonder what was going through his mind.
It jumped right out and poked you. I saw it! Quick, surround it with orange traffic cones… and make everyone in the household wear hard hats, safety glasses, steel toed shoes, hi-viz vests and thick leather gloves… Just in case.

Maybe they can find Snoopy’s doghouse and get some awesome decorations.

If yesterday’s strip wasn’t a reminder that you need a new tree, Earl…today’s should!

Look on the bright side, Earl. At least you don’t have to worry about Muffin hiding in the tree.

Does the kid live with his grandparents? Who keeps a natural Christmas tree more than 1 year?

Nelson, Grandpa is confused again, that’s not their Christmas tree, that’s their May Pole.

It doesn’t need love. It needs compassion. Let it retire with the little dignity it has left.

Get a real tree. They don’t poke so hard.
