Lio by Mark Tatulli for December 29, 2015

Gee, is Eva Rose going to be jealous.

I guess the tree looked lonely after Christmas ended.

All dressed up and …Oh wait, it does have somewhere to go.

We can only hope that Lio isn’t ‘taking out’ the tree here in the same manner as Michael Corleone in The Godfather

How considerate of Lio to do exactly what Dad asked! I hope the tree likes Italian….

Lio channels Amelia Bedelia.

Well, the tree looks like it’s smiling.

Why do people take their tree down before Epiphany? Let alone before NEW YEARS?

“Cola for me, and my friend will have a Pine-Sol.”

Maybe Dad could have set the tree on fire, and asked Lio to “Please put out the tree.”

@TheWildSow—if they get a live tree around Thanksgiving, it becomes a major fire hazard by Christmas…especially if the bottom was not properly trimmed before being put in a stand full of water and if the water level isn’t checked daily. Add to that: dry indoor air (in many places), the tree starts to look bad as well/

Oh well.

I hope Lio and the tree aren’t going to do a Lady and the Tramp spaghetti thing……..

Lio has good tastes; he didn’t go to McDonalds…

Liō is a good date.

italian? wouldn’t a northern tree prefer brit food?

What no red checkered tablecloth? Meh

How thoughtful – is that an Italian Spruce?

That was nice of Lio a nice date with the tree. I see it wore it’s best fir.

I’d expect him to take the Christmas tree out with… a flamethrower, or maybe a 155mm beehive round..Or his standard favorite, a tactical nuke.
