    Captain, I am definitely NOT going to show that post to our neighbor. He grumps about 1) buying a tree, 2) getting it home, 3) getting it straight in the stand, and 4) decorating it. If he saw your tree, he'd never let his wife forget it!

    Sung carefully to 'O Christmas tree' for others it might be 'O Tannenbaum'.

    O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, The Captain hung you by a string,
    O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, The stewbies gather round to sing,
    Thy shapely boughs of cardboard pine, with presents neath all tied with twine,
    O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, hear the bells from steeple ring.

    O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, Pleasant dreams till yuletide day
    O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, when all is done you've had your say
    soon you'll travel near and far, stinking up his auto car
    O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, Time to let this rhyme go way

    You can stop singing now.......PLEASE Stop singing!!!

    Don't blame me, I was inspired by the Captain :)

    Jerry

    Captain love your idea. We put real tree up for customer. And I decorated it. No easy task. 2 cats (((helping)). And top lean so bad. Had to put couple bulb hangers to wire it straight. And so many needles.
