Do you put up a natural or artificial Christmas tree?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on November 25, 2012
“ We put up a Christmas tree every year. We prefer the real kind. It’s the scent.”
“ We do artificial. We used to cut one down, but that gets to be too much hassle.”
“ I prefer artificial. It’s cleaner and no maintenance.”
“ Artificial. It’s cheaper in the long run. You don’t always have to haul it from the farm every year, and it’s still a family event decorating it. ”

Would you like a little white balance with your flash? I'm tired of these seasonal questions. All I can say is I once had a stripper girlfriend who loved to dance to "Bridge of Sighs" by Robin Trower. That's not a very sexy song but it sure as hell was when she danced to it. When I hear "Bridge of Sighs" I usually thing of a dirtbag nodding off on a filthy couch with a needle stuck in his arm. Next, Andini.

Kill a tree for Jesus?
HUMBUG!!
I prefer my neighbor's tree. I can see it through the kitchen window. That's close enough.

Why do so many trees have to give their lives for our entertainment every year?
CHEEZIT 5 months, 3 weeks ago
Not true. The guys on Mythbusters put like a thousand of the old lights with the big bulbs on a dried out tree and nothing!!! They had to short out the cord to get the tree to burn!

Or buy a live tree either in a container or B&B. Stick in the ground somewhere even if not in your yard. Plant it somewhere.
Frankly I would be happy without a tree. There are so many nice lights and ornaments why not simply decorate the house...... curtain rods,christmas scenes on the piano,decorate the kitchen,dining room etc etc etc.
Or if nothing else simply enjoy ourselves with or without a tree.

An aluminum pole. It requires no decoration. Very high strength-to-weight ratio. (Same answer as last year.)

Followed by the "Airing of Grievances" and "Feats of Strength," correct?

Our tree looks real, but it's not. Call it artificially natural.

Is Laura a fairy or a member of the Kindle family? She appears to have an inner light.
It certainly couldn't be the remarkable need for the photographer to learn how to use a flash camera already. Nothing says "We don't care" quite like a newspaper publishing a bad photograph. Doing so time after time after time is just lazy.

Actually Roe is not being truthful with you guys. He sent me a picture of his Christmas tree. http://www.maginternational.org/silo/images/christmas-gun-tree_294x446.jpg
LadyJ 5 months, 3 weeks ago
As you can see in this picture, he has plenty of guns left if you want him to make you one, or maybe some ornaments for your tree. http://www.staplenews.com/storage/post-images/Artist%20Melts%201527%20Guns%20To%20Make%20Shovels%20For%20Tree%20Planting%201.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1289175715536

You would be surprised what you can zoom into with Google Streetview http://www.geekologie.com/2009/03/06/google%2015.jpg Numerous nude people, people urinating in public, people caught committing crimes, dead bodies and even a woman giving birth on a sidewalk. Just google "Google street view caught" for some fun.

I prefer real ones over fake ones...like my wifes.

I bring out some real red and green candles---sometimes I forget to put them out until after Christmas. I celebrate the Winter Solstice, it's so much more fun than Christmas.

I prefer live trees. The problem is that here, this country doesn't celebrate Christmas on the same date and I can't get a live tree, so again this year, we won't have one at all.
