"Happy Holiday to all you individuals and hope you all enjoy a sit around the Holiday Tree with your younger individuals this year" I object to this. I find the whole idea of a holiday tree offensive. You murder a perfectly nice tree and bring it inside, where you slowly torture it to death for a while, keeping it alive artificially, while dressing it up like a tart. In many cases, the tree is placed so that it can look outside longingly as it slowly wastes away... And then the poor tree isn't even used for anything, but just thrown out like so much garbage. You TREE HATERS should be ASHAMED of yourselves!!! (Note: If you have an artifical tree, I withdraw all objections and hereby wish you a fun Tree Humiliation Ritual.) bonni (no, I don't do the tree thing, too much hassle and too many cats and children ;-)
