sadness...

i had to euthanize the Christmas tree tonight. it is now out on the curb. had to take it down since tomorrow is the last time the city will collect it....boo. it was still looking well, smelled nice, and not really shedding needles....just seems like such a shame. if it was up to me, the tree would stay up until i absolutely had to get rid of it, ie, when it looks like the charlie brown Christmas tree. maybe we can have a new tradition of decorating trees for valentine's day...2 for 1 deal is good for the environment, no?
