Ben by Daniel Shelton for December 04, 2023

Only Ben would think of that. Too much trouble to fit the tree stand.

The latest. Your tree may have fungus!! They now recommend that you rinse it before bringing it in. If it is freezing, I have no idea how you would go about this. Car Wash?

The tree seems to be leaning more in the third panel. At this point, I would be taking over so the tree needs to stand straight, and I always had a straight tree.

Try a few guy lines running into the middle of the room. Orange safety flags of course. And perhaps a sturdy eye bolt on the wall behind the tree.

Kind of funny………..?

I used to anchor our tree with fishing line tied to the drapery rods.

TILT!

And you thought the Old Man in A Christmas Story botched it – all HE messed up was the star on top!

Kind of a version of don’t raise the drawbridge, lower the river.

Now the room is crooked. Fix the tree, Ben.
