That is one pathetic excuse for a Christmas tree.
But considering the folks who put it up have never seen one, they can be forgiven.
Still, it's hard not to laugh.
But only for a second.
Because when I see the bits of red, gold, and blue linen stuck to the bush's thorns, I know how much effort went into this, and when Skaara beams proudly at me, the tree looks brighter.
Turns out, like Charlie Brown’s best mistake, this tree just needed a little love to shine.
Good thing we've got plenty of that around here.
Merry Christmas, Abydos.
