    yeah I went to Lowe's last year, only because the selection at the lots were terrible (about a week before christmas) and actually got a nice tree without any hassle. Think I might try that again now that I think about it.

    i always get my tree at lowe's for exactly the same reason....no hassle.
    in and out in 10 minutes.
    Nice shirt.

    I love the colored lights. Sitting in the dark with the tree lit is so cozy I think. :)

    I usually go to a lot which has all trees for $25 to $30. It used to be $15 when I started going but with inflation and all :D

    Home Depot and Lowes seem to just be a better deal nowadays.

    and here i was gonna refrain from calling it my xmas bush thinking i'd be safe then :o lol
  • god, trees are cheap where you people live. My 4-5 footer was $45 and my parents' 8-9 footer was like $79. Even the boy scouts were charging that.
  • this is as far as we have made it tonight.....

    im just hoping the damn thing isnt laying on the floor tomorrow morning....

    Lovely tree!

    One question: Chicago isn't cold enough for you that you still have your A/C unit in your window? Do you turn it on to make the tree still think it is outside?

    My tree was up and decorated the day after Thanksgiving. Then again, we're not lazy motherfuckers like SOME people from Illinois;)

  • How long until Christmas?

    I haven't even sent any cards out yet! :worried:
  • we got it home..
    we put it in its stand.....

    and we only screamed and yelled at each other once.....hehehehehe

    tomorrow we may even decorate the fucking thing.....
    its universal. very funny....

    ideal fantasy land putting up the tree =
    everyone wearing a nice sweater and scarf, chopping the tree down on a nice tree farm, hayride back to the car, strapping in on the roof no problem, christmas carols on the way home, warm fire in the house, start sipping on eggnog or wine, smililng and laughing putting it in the stand, everyone putting decorations on the tree, hugging and kissing under the mistle toe, plugging the lights in and they all work...

    reality...
    its fucking cold out here. I dont know which one. whatever one you want. help me pick one. pick one already. cut the fucking thing down already. its fucking cold. i have snow in my asscrack from being down in the snow under the tree with a saw as dull as the backside of a butterknife. drag 2 miles back to car. sap everwhere. i cant get the fucking thing tied down to the roof. my hands are numb. im getting in the car. i hope this thing makes it home. stare at the front of the tree you can still see through your windshield over and over again, getting annoyed at the same christmas cd you heard 50 times already. get home (its now slid down the trunk of the car clinging for life), get it in the house after you finally get the twine off the car and tree, get it in the stand, the bolts dont fit, breakdown cardboard to use as a brace to go between tree and bolts, its crooked, it has a bad side, its leaking from the ice that was on it, its just too tall, take out of stand, cut it down, repeat thing with cardboard, run lights, they dont work and are upside down, rerun lights after finally finding the dead one, decorate tree, too many "red ones over here". cat is in tree knocking shit down. done. bedtime. that was fun.

    edit: hold mistle toe at beltbucke...wife tells you that you're an asshole
    ahhhhhhh, the joy of christmas
    All that's sacred, comes from youth....dedications, naive and true.

    got the tree last night.. a nice 6- 6 1/2' balsam fir for $28... and it actually was put up last night. Now all that's left is to decorate.

    Best part... it took all of 15 minutes to pick out a tree, no one asking stupid questions and I actually had to search for someone in home depot to wrap the thing for me. I think I've found my new Christmas tree lot :D

    good to know that "christmas tree fights" are not limited to my home......it amazes me that my wife can eat all her food through a straw after the fight. :)

    and no........i am not kidding, she is good at it.
    live and let live...unless it violates the pearligious doctrine.
