Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for December 14, 2019

“Dad, that thing wouldn’t fit in our yard. "

…sounds like two rules to me.

Well, it has to fit in you vehicle. We were lucky. The tree lot in my home town was right across the street.

thought of Rose as a Christmas-tree hugger!

My wife prefers a grand fir. Why? I don’t know. They all look like Christmas trees to me.

Man, Jimbo has great balancing abilities and even greater strength! Even Peekaboo is on that tree! What a hunk!

Tree killers.

My partner and I were patrolling, and we stopped to check out a housing construction site. One of the houses being built had a two-story living room open to the upstairs. I said “nice house.” and he said "My wife would take one look at this and say “Finally, a ceiling high enough for the Christmas trees you bring home!”

The only alternative is to cut a Hole in the Ceiling.

But, then, you have to go up into the Attic to see the Star on top.

We waited to late one year and my father and I went out to get one and OMG it was too big and dried out and well we were “not happy” and my mother either. So trimmed it some more but it was “not our usual nice tree” for sure.

This strip aptly sums up the holiday season!
