We had an artificial Christmas tree when I was growing
up. It was perfect! It was the perfect
size at 7 ft tall. It was perfectly shaped like a beautiful green, upside down
ice cream cone! Every year my brother
and I enjoyed every minute of decorating our perfect tree, right down to the
angel on top! Oh, how we would squeal with delight, imagining all the presents
that would soon cover the space beneath the tree! We would bask in the memories that each
ornament held as we placed them on our beloved tree! I have such wonderful memories of decorating
our perfect Christmas tree with my family!
You can imagine my excitement when I purchased the Christmas
tree that my daughter would grow up with! She was 16 months old and I selected
a beautifully shaped, 7 ft tall, pre-lit tree!
I was beyond excited as we set up the tree and began decorating. My beautiful baby girl marveled at this tall tree
with all the sparkly lights! It was a great evening! As I regaled my parents
with the story of how I got such a great pre-lit tree for such a great price,
my mother commented:
Ma: That’s not a
great deal, I got our tree for $20!!!!
Me: Yaw, back in like 1980! Plus, mine is pre-lit! I don’t have
to deal with lights.
Ma: Ours is just as pretty and only cost us $20!!!!
Dad: that’s because the tree was hot!
Me: (whipping my head around to face Dad) WHAT??
Dad: yeah, you didn’t know that? Remember the day she came
home all excited about how she got this great tree for $20? From some guy selling
stuff out of his VW micro-bus in the parking lot of the Dart Drug?
Ma: It wasn’t hot, I paid for it!
Dad: yeah, and do you think THEY paid for the tree? Don’t
think so!
Me: (total shock and disbelief) Christmas was hot!?!
Demon hEX: hey Maria, did they charge you sales tax on that?
Me: Christmas was hot!?!
Dad: not all of it Sweets, just the tree!
