Man vs. Tree: Tree Wins.

What is more exciting than putting up the Christmas tree? Nothing. The house smells all piney, it marks the beginning of the Christmas season, et cetera. It is a time of rejoicing and happiness. Alas, not this year. After much wrestling with our tree to get it upright in the first place (it listed to one side very badly from the time that we took it home), we came home a few days later to find it hopelessly horizontal. Tim said he just wanted to get rid of it, but I convinced him to just turn it the other way and lean it against the wall. (Which resulted in all of our decorations facing the wall, and not the family room). Darn tree.
