Today we got ourChristmas tree. I realize it is a tadearly, but my partner will be working Thanksgiving. We usually put the tree up then and have ourannual “putting up the xmas tree argument.” This argument always involves getting the tree straight in the treestand. The air is filled with the aromaof pine needles (of which I’m allergic) and in the background the sweet soundsof Christmas music attempt to drown out our bickering. The tree always gets put up straight…or atleast as straight as two lesbians can get. Each time we go through this, I marvel at the fact that my mother putsup about 18 Christmas trees throughout her house. She even has one that she puts outside on thepatio. It sits by her big sliding glassdoor so you can see it from the inside. One year she even put presents at the base of the sliding glass doorwith the tree in the background. It waspretty authentic, except for the tree actually being outside. There are treesin the bathrooms, trees in the hallway, trees in the bedrooms, trees in thekitchen, trees in the living room…pretty much trees everywhere. I’ve seen the actual putting up of the treesat my parent’s house. The same bickeringthat occurs at my house happens with them, too. Only this bickering is multiplied by 18.
Here’s a picture ofour tree, post arguing. I’d say it doesn’tlook too shabby for a tree that we paid less than $20 for at the Wal Marts.
