christmas eve
ah, yes. that glorious time of year again when everyone can gather around the christmas tree and rejoice in its pine-esqe boughs full of twinkling lights (and in my case, 48 empty beer cans hung loveingly by the tabs, 5 fifths of random empty hard alcohol bottles -at least one tequila-, and other random smoking accesories that the roomates decided to put upon her.. or inside to find later... and some laying on the floor...coffee-table... kitchen counter... the point is moot.I digress).
JB found our christmas tree this year on his (second or third) trip of the day to the Derb right down the street for a nice cool 40. As the story goes, the tree was laying in the middle of the alley-way, minding its own business. He went on to the Derb and when he was on his way walking back down the alley back to the house/apartment, it was still there. So what else do you do when you find a seven foot green christmas tree laying in the back alley of your house? Thats right drag it home and sit it by the stairs for three days until another roommate drags the damn thing up into the second story apartment via the stairs from hell and only to find out that the rooms clearance certainly is not seven foot, like the christmas tree.
And as if the house needed yet ANOTHER fire hazard, it now has a severly dried out pine tree with christmas lights, beer cans, cigarette wrappers, and so on... So now its joyfully decorated, and at a 45 degree angle at the house.
It doesnt even need a tree stand, its wedged in there so tight I'm having concerns over how to get it out when chrismtas is over.
Josh and Joe want to go set it on fire after christmas. more power to them. perhaps I'll take a picture if I dare to get close enough or if it hasnt already been set aflame inside the house.
merry christmas
