woods is pure ambrosia as far as the cat is concerned. Having glittery ornaments to punch around is an unbelievable bonus. The procedure for purchasing a Christmas tree is similar to buying a used car. For some reason men tend to kick at the base of the tree. Women are interested in how long it will be before pine needles start falling on the carpet, how many times a day it will have to be watered to stay fresh and is it the proper size for that special corner of the room. Men mumble about “Just wanting to buy a tree ot pay the national debt” and try a dozen different ways to get it tied on or in the car for the ride home. This reporter’s son mentioned it was about time to put up his Christmas tree. Asked if he was planning a tree trimming party he replied, “Nope, it’s an artificial tree and last year I carried it to the basement decorations and all. I’ll just bring it back upstairs, dust it off, plus in the lights and it’s ready to go.” Now that’s what I call being organized!
