I really miss the real tree, though. But I HATE taking the decorations down, so the pre-assembled tree-in-a-box that my Mom used to put up in her flat is starting to look really appealing.<br /><br />Anyway, love the poem, Mur.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596195411105707978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228817173405640184.post-89349591836594278202010-12-03T12:47:17.585-05:002010-12-03T12:47:17.585-05:00Thanks, all!

Thanks for the offer, though.<br /><br />My fake tree is also accompanied by an aritificial woodsy scent courtesy of Yankee Candles. :)Murhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08487683032164548987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228817173405640184.post-70916839976104927832010-12-03T10:21:30.156-05:002010-12-03T10:21:30.156-05:00Mur, I'll help you bring the tree upstairs if ...Mur, I'll help you bring the tree upstairs if your kids aren't available.<br /><br />I have a nice four foot tree I bought at Bradley's many many moons ago (remember Bradley's?). It's a great tree.

It's going to be "Tanya," but I won't make it wear a beret and carry a machine gun. (Is that reference too obscure?)Andrea Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926896897768609275noreply@blogger.com
