It would not be Christmas without________________

2. Ironically, when I read this, I thought of all of the things that I don't have to do any longer, as I get older and

older. The hypocrisy is overwhelming at Xmas time.

But, I guess that Xmas trees would be the big thing. I love the smell, even had my own Xmas tree operation, grant you, it wasn't very big, about 20,000 trees, and the number of trees that died off every year (In the Ozarks) was staggering. The hardest part? Mowing the lot w/o running over a few trees accidently and trimming them so they wouldn't grow up lopsided or the like.

Finally gave up after battling the deer, they love these things. There's probably maybe about 10 good sized trees now, out of 20,000 now.
