X-Mas Sucks!!!

[FormulaOne]

I get home from work Friday. Sarah wants to get a christmas tree for the house. (I originally didnt want one, then said we could get a fake one, then said we could get a small live one (5 or so feet) and put it up in the back room.) She finds a place where supposedly all trees are $37 if u cut it. After getting lost (Because she didnt mapquest it) we get there 5 minutes before they close in the pitch dark. After 5 minutes of walking in the mud in the dark I got fed up and said, "Just pick out one of the pre-cut ones and lets get out of here." She ends up picking a 12 ft. tree that cost me $130. Friday night was spent wrestling the freakin thing into the house. It never really occured to her that a 12 foot tree will spread out pretty wide. That thing takes up 1/2 the living room (of course we couldnt put it in the back room that is all hardwood and easy to clean needles off). 2 trips to the store to buy more lights to go around the massive thing. The cat is constantly climbing around on the tree, the puppy chews on the branches.

Then the exterior xmas lights.... I didnt want to put them up to begin with but as usual, Sarah gets her way. 2 trips to home depot, cost of lights and extension cords, millions of ignorant people driving around shopping centers and of course, I fell off the ladder once and busted my azz pretty good. After 3 hrs of climbing around the roof, the lights were up.

After all of that she says, " your attitude made this the most unenjoyable time ever!" WTF???!!!

Next year.. NO XMAS DECORATIONS OF ANY KIND and a ski trip to get the hell out of town for the holidays.

I'm done now.

Oh wait one more thing... Then I hear last night that her mom is staying at our house for a week....with her new fiance.

MERRY F-ING CHRISTMAS!

No lights/ tree/ decorations or any of that other dumb chit at my house.

Last year I had an X-mas palm tree that drank too much rum and perished.

You know, you can save yourself all of the headaches by simply saying NO!!!

Puppies learn it fast......women....welll uh it takes a little longer but they eventually learn. :D

Yea, I got sucked into the light thing this weekend too but I was pretty medicated and didnt kill anyone. Next time she does it herself or stays in the house while I do it. She did decorate the tree by herself which made me very happy.

Hmph - I love my Christmas tree. I put it up and decorated it all by myself. I never intend to do without one.

I have a small artificial tree, maybe 3 or 4 feet tall. I leave it decorated, cover it and put it in the attic when not in use. My kids are convinced its the best tree in the world!:D

[Full Force]
