Christmas Trees Are Good for the Environment

I rated it -5 but I don't think it's really off-topic. I posted it mostly to see what kind of silly posts it would generate! I love your fiancee's tree -- completely appropriate in Australia where Christmas is in the summer.

I grew up on a farm with many acres of trees, both hard wood and Pines and Cedars.

Each Christmas, my older sister, brother and I would walk into the woods in search of the perfect tree. We used Cedar trees because of their symmetry and smaller size.

Now, 60 years later, we live in Arizona with these boys, but we still always get a fresh tree and let them decorate it.

Merry Christmas!

That's a good-looking bunch of young men, Lyn.

A lot of people in the South used cedar trees when I was growing up. I love the fragrance.

Thanks.

Only the youngest one still believes in Santa.

He wants to put a camera aimed at the tree to catch Santa.

Sounds like a chip off the old block!

"chip off the old block" yes, a little wood humor. "Chip"' "Block"

The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree, does it?

Sounds like a worthy project to help him with, Then have the apropriate "magic" happen (static and blurred images for a few seconds) followed by the presents underneath the tree.

We are a little spoilt. Our neighbour runs a commercial Christmas tree farm. We get one for free since they have their sign in our property.

I have a camcorder by the TV, I use to record their football games which he pointed out to me would work for that.

I may just try that.

He may also be humoring us too. He has two older brothers.

"He may also be humoring us too. He has two older brothers."

[knowingly nods head in silent agreement]

It's probably got nothing to do with the older brothers.

As long as he maintains the belief, then EVERYONE else is obliged to maintain the generosity and he remains the prime beneficiary.

Smart kid????

I don't believe in santa either.
