Measure height, not width.

OMG! Ralph was right. For a change.

It WILL fit!

Trees always look smaller in the lot.

Cut a hole in your roof it will fit

Don’t cut , Buy a Potted first tree , plant it in the spring, repeat , Enjoy!

Set it up outside.

Looks to be about the size of those trees they use downtown for the city’s Christmas tree…

Cut off the top half and mount it on your roof and it will look like it went through.

Mine is 18" tall and fits in the front window.

He’ll have to cut off half the tree to get it to fit…

Two years ago friends cut down a ‘little’ pine tree growing too close to their house (insurance reasons) so we took it for our Christmas tree. Carried it home on top of the RAV 4, which it dwarfed! The tree was just over ten feet tall so I installed it on the deck facing the street, the only place with head space for it. Best tree we’ve had, but it meant extra Christmas lights.

What, no Christmas house flag yet?

Gonna need a bigger house.

Oh, fir heaven’s sake!!

Apparently she’s worse than Clark Griswold! And they haven’t even cut the rope yet!!

My wife picked one a long time ago. It dragged on the ground when I tried to put it in the trunk of a ’62 Ford, I had to lay it crosswise and take up two lanes. When I got it home and stood it up outside it was two feet over the roof.

Clark Griswold would think that tree is too big

One of the segments on “Inside Edition” this week was about a buggy Christmas tree. The fresh Christmas tree that an Ohio family took home from a tree farm turned out to be a breeding ground for praying mantises, spawning hundreds of newly-hatched insects soon after being set up in the living room.

A little full. A lotta sap!
