If you ever watched that video of how fast a real tree on fire became a fully involved living room fire, you'd never want another piece of sap-laden drying out tinder in your living room. It took less than 30 seconds for the living room to flash over.
My wife insists on real trees. In return, I insist on the following: it goes up on Christmas Eve and it comes down New Years' Day.

Swimmer...Slingah....Bah-Humbug! 
Karl.....I enjoy Christmas Eve the best! Have family and a few good friends stop by for a bite and some cheer! I have my kids this year on Christmas Eve for the first time in a few years....and they are not getting any younger....oh sure they don't believe in Santa anymore at 14 and 15.....but it makes it that much nicer making things special for them! I don't care about presents and shopping and all that.....the best part is Christmas Eve after everyone is gone....fire going, put in Its a Wonderful Life and just kick back! Christmas Day we will stay home, just Angie and the boys and myself.....cook a turkey dinner and not go anywhere! Started a new tradition last year....no more making the run to my Mom's for a day of the same old thing and all the crap! Just staying in my own home and relaxing!
SQD....post a pic of that tree will you? Also look for a new ornament very soon!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Real... but they really are a pain in the arse!  A fake would be so much easier. |
The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
