    Whenever we get a real tree, whatever animals we have in the house insist on peeing on it. So we're going with a fake tree. This year it will be a very tiny one that sits on the table, so none of the usual decorations

    We dont set up the christmas tree anymore but if i ever got one i'd want a dead one like the ones Pheobe likes on Friends. Maybe i'll even top it off with her candy skull.

    You people need to learn to get some anti-sealant preservative for your Christmas trees. It'll prevent the tree from healing the cuts so that water can get into the tree, and it'll not become dry as fast. Even the preservative smells pretty good by itself, too.

    Yeah, I used to do that, too. Then I realized that it was a guilt-free and guaranteed way to ask for money.

    Unless you're Jewish. Then you get some Chinese food.

    It's okay qwerty, I have no idea what Christmas really means anymore. Something about materialism and virgins having babies.

    Your mom was right in doing so.

    Fake Christmas trees are lame. I'd have no tree before I bought a fake tree. But I don't care much about decorating for Christmas, so .

    We have a fake tree here. The cats like climbing on real trees, and can be hazardous to fragile decorations.

    Aww, I won't be having a tree - spending christmas in India this year.

    My favourite ornament would have to be an old angel that we always have on top. It used to be my grandpa's, so it's a bit sentimental as well.

    The idea of having a real tree is preposterous to me. We've always had a fake one. They last for years, just like our horrible fibreoptic one which I got to saw in half after it stopped working
    The messenger is standing at the gate
    Ready to let go
    Ready for the crush
    Too late for whispers
    Too late for the blush
    The past is mercy
    When the future is aglow

    I love your family. I thought you were going to tell us about some obscure forest god named Rhod at first. xD
    Remind me NEVER to tell Rhod you think he's a forest god. There would be inevitable comments about having 'big wood'.
