These trees are great and all, but no one truly does trees like the French (though an American artist). Well, maybe @sgh does.

Base isn’t flared enough. Wind might blow it away.

Fact:  The best Christmas trees, firewood and tree trimming comes from men with few teeth.

Fine since we are doing this. And no it's not from Costco. We get real trees now that will be thrown out after Christmas.

Appreciating my morning wood:

Botch

Watching the commuters battling snow and ice at 6 a.m. On the morning news. While sipping hot tea. In my Bunny slippers.
I love retirement.

My girlfriend surprised me with my “own” tree since I wanted colored lights and she doesn’t.
She made the executive decision we are not having a full sized tree on the ground since the puppy is in the chew everything stage… and she made the comment neither one of us wants to re-pay for her designer tree a second time…
I just said yes ma’am and thank you

And yes those are shotgun lights

I am planning on adding a labradoodle to the household in the Spring as soon as I can locate one that is. Goldendoodles everywhere and I have to be picky🤷🏼. Not looking forward to a furniture beaver. 

Yno

The other presents don't come out until  Christmas morning, because the dog likes to investigate them. He gets mor presents than anyone.

I’m contemplating a 23&Me test to affirm my Jewish ancestry after replacing 100:bulbs with no success in illuminating a section of this tree.

I went ahead and did the health option also. It warned me that I inherited 1 of 2 genetic markers for macular degeneration. I got that from my mother. The ancestry part surprise was that the Choctaw Indian ancestor 6 or 7 generations back was actually of West African ancestry, a whole 0.4% showed up. The Scottish ancestry was definitely there but not as much as in the ancestry.com test.

Check the wires and the splices.  I had a section out and it wasn't a bulb.  It was one of the splices.  I found ot by wiggling and pinching every line and splice.

SWMBO started decorating the house after Halloween and had the new tree we had to buy this year up before we went out of town for Thanksgiving.  She finished decorating it the other day.  Christmas is her super-bowl I guess you could say.   I paid extra for a sideways hanging tree
