pitiful I say

so this year we got our tree at home depot as we always do for their great price but this year , although she had character, which I loved, she sure ended up very bear. Just plain pitiful
note the pile of needles under the tree. Thank goodness we have wood floors for easy clean up.

There is an old grandpa Meister story that involves my grandpa and granny keeping their Christmas tree up for valentines day. I guess I do have Meister blood in my veins but there is no way this ugly thing was lasting to see cupid!
