Christmas tree shopping with Melina this afternoon.The tree we had last year seemed to lose an excessive number of needles, so we mentioned that to the tree sellers. The first guy told us “you have to put it in water right away, you moron,” or words to that effect. (I may be paraphrasing here…). The second seller told us “Well, you know they’re dead right? How fresh do you think you are going to look three weeks after you are dead?” (Again, I may be paraphrasing…) But we did get a tree. It’s in the bathtub now getting a good soaking…
