Trash Tree
My dad's had this "tradition" going since him & my mom got divorced, for almost every xmas since then he's put up a trash tree. Take yer average xmas-type-tree, add lights & decorate it with garbage. Not gross things, like old food, or anything that is actually dirty, or smells. Things like recycled cans, shredded news paper, etc. The first year he did it was the best. It was a gorgeous tree. Recycled beer cans, shredded news paper & caution tape. The "star" at the top was this ragged, old teddy bear. I promise it looked much nicer than it sounds.
My dad hasn't done much the past few years for xmas & it makes me sad. So, I decided I would go to his house while he was working today & put up my own trash tree. I bought a $15 faux tree, ganked some of my mom's left over lights, some beaded garland, etc.
I put together the tree & look at it. It really is a pretty sad looking tree, but it just kind of adds to the whole idea of a trash tree. I put the lights & garland on, then I rumage thru the pile of porno mags in my dad's living room. I grab an old Playboy & start ripping out the pages with naked ladies on them. I cut out smaller pictures for ornaments & cut out the centerfold for the "star" on the top. I dug thru the recycling bin outside (which is covered in snow & ice, so it was a real pain in the ass) for some beer cans. I washed them, dried them, crushed them & hung them on the tree with the porn. I taped the centerfold to the top of the tree, then poked 2 lights thru her nipples, so her tits glow when you plug it in. I wrap a couple of presents for my dad in what was left of the magazine & put them under the tree.
I called my dad later on to tell him I left him xmas presents at his house & asked him what time he was getting out of work. Since he wasn't getting home until about 10pm, we decided we were hanging out & watching Nip/Tuck together.
My dad was excited about "my first trash tree", he was pretty impressed & thought the porn was a nice touch. We both need to take pictures. I didn't think of bringing my camera to his house untill I was already there, so when I get pictures, I'll post them.
I just got home about a half hour ago. After watching Nip/Tuck, my dad & I just kind of hung out & talked for a couple hours. He told me a bunch of funny stories about being married to my mom & his exgirlfriends. The more I hang out with my dad, the more I realize I'm just like him, which is a lot better than being just like my mom, trust me.
My dad & I also made plans for next Tuesday night. It's the season finale of Nip/Tuck & we're fucking exciting about it because it's going to kick ass.
