Hey, nice effect for the space in between the panels!

how do we know the tree didn’t do something in a previous life to deserve this Karma?

Maybe it’s having an “Out Of Tree” experience. Is it “Out on a Limb”?

I buy potted trees and then plant them in the yard after the holiday, I’m a fir-tarian!

yeah so do I, but that wouldn’t work with this punch line.

“Christmas…is a time for cutting down trees, and hanging plastic do-dads on them, watching them die slowly in your living-room, catch fire, and burn down your house, and all your possessions.” – Steve Martin

That would be a tofu-tree then.

Simon Jester, I, too have a quote. It’s parafrased somewhat, but:

Christmas is when humans celebrate the coming of their lord by butchering a tree alive and stringing it with flammable lights. What? It’s got its dark side!

–Brooke McEldowney’s “A Fairy Merry Christmas” (which you can read on this site if you’re a “pro”)

Reminds me of Benard Shaw, who said, “I love flowers…. I love children too, but I would not like anybody to cut off their heads and arrange those heads on my table.”

It’s all Prince Albert’s fault.
