Last Grandkids concert tonight, shopping done, cards mailed, all the fun stuff, but now it's time to put up the !#$%^&^% TREE.
I predict tomorrow will be the coldest day of the month as i drag the tree thru the open doors and all the heat escapes.
My wife will leave the house for 3 hours.
I will try once again ,to put the stand on the tree in a horizontal position, which will not work.
I will then either have to cut more off the base or trim branches off the bottom to make it fit.
When it's cut there will be at least 4ft of space between the floor and first branch.
As i struggle to raise it , it will fall crooked against the wall.
As i lay under the tree to adjust it ,all the cold air will funnel down the trunk unto me.
As i shove the wedges in to help straigthen it they will all crack.
I will promise to buy myself a "better stand" next year.
As i finally finish and tie it to 3 walls to hold it up, my will come home and say "it looks crooked".
Let the swearing begin.
