No Tree This Year

H asked me to put our  Xmas Tree  up two weeks ago, i.e. when we had the dinner party.  

Thought hard about it, and decided that the Xmas Tree will not go up this year. 

No point.

Since we won't really be around to 'enjoy' looking at our lovely tree. Don't wanna come back in early January 2009 ...and first thing I do is DISMANTLE the tree. 

Yes. Usually, I end up to be the one bringing the tree down....with the maid's help, of course.
