The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for December 07, 2021

It’s the real thing, that’s the way it should be, what the world wants to see, can’t beat the real thing

We always put up our tree to early for a real tree, But we still have the real thing.

I can’t say that my artificial tree smells like anything. I have scented pine cones for that.

Have you seen the prices for live trees? My neighbors son paid $107.00 and they paid $80.00.

we decided to go with a live tree (the kind in a pot, with roots) one year and planted it in the yard the following spring. by the time we moved away it was around 3 or 4 meters tall…

If your tree makes your house smell like a pine forest, it’s a pine tree, not a Fraser Fir.

Friend or faux?

I always liked decorating the real trees outside and the fake trees inside. My outside is my outside and my inside is not a showroom or a store window.

Time for Brutus to get a can of Faux Pine Scent to go with his Faux Tree. Or he could decorate his tree with those little pine tree shaped air fresheners that hang from the mirrors of cars.

sounds pleasant…

I’d like to teach the world to sing….

Humug !

Fake – That does not sound like Brutus. Christmas has been turned into a fake season of money spending and not worship of our Lord. Would think Old soul Brutus would want the real deal for Wilburforce and family. Unless it’s Glady’s lazy way?

Brutus is simply being honest.

Pearl Harbor day folks – may we never ever forget that dreadful day.

My dad worked in a plastics plant for a few years and I visited there a couple times. The smell wasn’t the worst part for me, it was the plastic beads all over the floor that made it slippery as ice!

I have a pine-scented artificial tree. The trick was putting a rear-view mirror in my living room to hang it from. :)

A can of pine scent is a whole lot cheaper than that tree was. You can smile all the way to the bank. Which might also pay for some of those Christmas gifts…..

The house should smell like a Fraser Fir forest…

Grand firs are a lot nicer than Fraser trees, less gaps and orange scented

We always had fresh trees. Then the kids grew up and moved out. Now we got a “Faux” tree and it’s the best thing ever! No smell but it looks great and I don’t have to worry about the water drying up!
