This choice would be for those who: 1. Believe the tree is a pagan tradition or 2. Are spending Dec. 22 thru Dec. 30 in the Caribbean There needs to be another choice in the Xmas tree vote – “none at all.”

What was I thinking except that it looked good on the side of the mountain but when we started digging I realized we had made a terrible mistake but I wasn't going to waste the $10 I paid for it. What I remember was the extra 100 lbs of red clay we carried down the mountain with us on our clothes and boots and eventually into the truck and home. I am pleased it turned out to be a pleasant memory cause it was agony that December day so long ago. It’s all true and I think the tree ball weighted about 300 lbs.

I "worked" for about an hour getting enough space so that the ball would be fully covered by dirt (still didn't know enough to take off the burlap covering). I netted about another 4 inches then what we had previously. Still the end is the same, dead tree and stupid sons.
