Fall 2000

Every year I lament about how my lovely wife turns into so sort of monster that oozes Christmas on the day after Thanksgiving. This year it happened way early. Being the eco-friendly man that I am, I only allow her to kill a tree every other year. Last year was my year, we pulled the artificial tree out of the closet and had it ready to go an just a few minutes. She really liked the convenience of not having to trapes through the tree farm and haul the tree home. Besides we are both alergic to pine, the sap makes us break out in a rash. So she said it would be OK if we went artificial again this year, but my meager 5ft tree wasn't going to cut it. She wanted a tree that would scrape the ceiling. Mind you we have 12ft ceilings. And guess what! THERE'S A SALE AT SEARS!

Notice how Queen Christmas-WASP builds its nest from wire and plastic


DONE! See how proud the Queen is with her work. Yes, it is 9ft tall, nearly twice her own height.
