Xmas Never Ends

[bjarvis]

kent4str and cuyahogarvr have been shopping intensely for an artificial xmas tree for a while. It's proven harder than one might imagine to find a tree which is the correct height and does not have LEDs already strung through it. I still just want to ditch the idea of having a tree at all, but the two of them can beat me up so I'm kinda stuck on that point.

A while ago, I heard on the radio of a sale at some website; I forwarded the URL to the guys and they found a model they liked. I thought my involvement was complete, but we quickly discovered that the site didn't accept Discover so we couldn't use kent4str's dividends credit card. The only dividends card we have is my Mastercard so I ended up paying for the wretched thing as well.

The boxed tree arrived nearly a month ago but we haven't had the time to unpackage it to see if it matched the catalog photo. Indeed, it does. In fact, here it is in all its glory --and note cuyahogarvr & kent4str in the mirror behind:

For a fake tree, that's a nice one!

It wants fluffing, but don't we all?

Errr, this *is* February in't it? Xmas isn't for another 10 months at least by my questionable math skills. Or is this one of those things like you buy a heater in August and an air conditioner in January?

Yup, buying clearout inventory in the off-season.
