Improper Christmas Tree Decorum

1 Comment

February 1, 2008

I was driving home yesterday, and as I pulled down our street, I saw my neighbor hauling out his Christmas tree along with his trash barrels. This was a frightful sight for me, and I even shielded Berlyn’s eyes. It is February 1, and the time to throw out your Christmas tree passed 4 weeks ago. This is beyond unacceptable, and yes, neighbor whom I don’t know, I am judging you.

I wanted to wait until morning to snap a photo of the distressed Christmas tree, but when I went out at 7:45 a.m., it was mysteriously gone.

So, I went to google images, and this is what it would have looked like, but even more brown and sickly.
