The fourth time was the charm.
We went to four places to finally get that most important symbol of Christmas,
the Christmas Tree. Actually it was three places, and one place we went twice.
Lowes sold out of all their trees last week. Walmarts' trees looked pathetic.
And the little lot that we went last year, the one with the North Carolina trees
was closed the night we went. I guess because it had started to sprinkle. We
hardly noticed it, so it didn't occur to us that they wouldn't be open.
Ben and I went the next day after school and picked one out.
Then we spent the rest of the evening trying to get it to stand up straight in
the stand. It took an engineer(David) to get it up right. And by then we were
all so frustrated that we didn't decorate it until the next night.
Why do we always have to be like the Grizzwald's for Christmas?
