Maybe plastic trees aren’t so bad after all…
I was so proud of my wonderful freshly cut Christmas Tree that was soaking up water like a sponge. Now I realize the tree wasn’t soaking up the water, so much as my floor was soaking up the water. This is a picture of my beautiful old home’s living room wood floor. Warped, and rotted. Unfortunately, the end result of my favorite family tradition of going to Talbott’s, ended on a sour note.
My tree is still going to the chipper, and my crappy tree stand is headed to the Peoria County Landfill.
I’ll be back at Talbott’s next year to cut down a fresh tree, and I’ll also be making a trip to Super Walmart to buy a new direct imported tree stand.
(yes, that is Nickelodeon Trivial Pursuit in the edge of the picture, and I suck at it.)
