Christmas Trees: It's in the Eye of the Beholder

Nobody Cares: Right. Tell me---which one of these trees is worth $62,000 dollars?

Yes, somewhere in the world, some rich guy is bragging about how he had to drill a hole in his roof to fit his palm tree covered with snow from Las Vegas. (Just kidding) Actually, someone bought that twisted up white piece of "modern lamp" posing as a Christmas tree for $62,912 dollars to be exact, and since it was for charity, it can be written off as a tax expense. Might as well get something for your deduction.

It looks pretty useless as a light. If it was mine, I'd put it in the garage, next to the Mercedes.

It seems in Paris, 44 designers had a fun time redesigning the Christmas tree. The public can view them at the "Les Sopins de Noel des Creatuers" show. Even Stella McCartney got in on it. I saw some of the other trees, and believe it or not, this white contraption WAS about the most decent thing to pick from.

Let's face it...nothing is as beautiful as mother nature. And a little snow on the top of a desert palm looks ten times more Christmasy than that white pretzel thing that looks as if the local high school shop class had a brainstorm.

In fact, that would be a noble thing for kids to do in shop class, design Chrismas trees...creativity unleashed! Teachers?

Better yet, every single kid should learn how to repair old electrical Christmas lights. Why not send the kids out for thier "community service" credits to all the old people's houses and let them put up their lights?

When are they going to start teaching the kids something practical? (sigh)

Myself, I LOVE my tree. It's not real, but it's big, and filled with so much junk and memories and every single ornament has a meaning. But then again, I'm a real sucker for Christmas and all the trimmings. It's the only time of year Americans truly get creative.

So, while our nation and even the deserts are covered in ice, which is only NORMAL of course...tonight this nobody's mind thinks that we are going into a little ice age, and Al Gore KNEW this...and since he works with Hollywood, that's why they made that movie called "The Morning After" where the whole United States freezes and Mexico refuses to take us in...all due to...

GLOBAL WARMING!

He was sure to cover all weather scenarios, all over the globe.

What REALLY has happened is the earth wobbled and caused Al Gore's brain to liquefy, along with the North Pole.

Now, somebody go put some Christmas lights up on those Las Vegas Beauties. It after all, is our biggest city of lights. And maybe the person who bought that white thing should let it stand in the front hallway of the Venetian Hotel.

It actually would look good there, that's my Nobody's Opinion.

Now, pardon me...I think I'll go work on my big door wreath. I want to wrap it in green and blinking lights this year....then add that funny little meaningless ball, and a BIG red ribbon for my very special Gargoyle...Dougie.

See ya tomorrow.
