Used to get our tree from a tree farm owned by a retired physics professor from MIT. Coming back the second year, and every year until he moved on, I would walk in and hear, “Hello Mr. Xxxxx, a 6’ Blue Spruce again this year?”. The guy sold 1500 trees a year, and knew every customer, even those he’d only met once a year ago, by name and their tree preference. He said it was a word association he’d used to remember student’s names, and that I really didn’t want to know what association triggered my name.

I use the same tree every year.
It’s a real tree, I just need to glue the needles back on each time.
Saves a lot of work.

Some people hang a Christmas tree from their ceiling.

Do you have trouble keeping people and animals from walking through your Christmas tree?

Tree farm or empty lot, but an orchard?

If you pronounce your name “Ben•wa” rather than “Ben•oit,” I think I can guess.

Never give up. That’s what you learn in the house of Poncho. On the bright side, the cats won’t knock it down now.

it’s still a tree, even if it’s bald… and it’s all over the floor. I may have mixed up my words a bit here, but I’m sure you got the message. :J

Idiot should watch a few YouTube videos on picking a healthy tree.

I like what he’s done there. Easy to decorate for short people. :)
