A Christmas Lesson!!

A Christmas lesson by Amy VanDalen....No matter how much you water your tree, it will still dry out if put directly on a vent without closing it!! My sad sad sad...dead dead dead...tree!
Moving the presents to remove the fire hazard!

The culprit...I'm an idiot!!
What a mess!!
December 21, 2008....The VanDalen Christmas tree in the front yard!!
On the bright side...I have a head start on all of you putting my Christmas decorations away!!

So sad! But if it makes you feel any better the exact same thing happened to us!! We cut down our tree the day after Thanksgiving and we had to take it down on the 19th of December since it was a fire hazard. . . there were needles everywhere!!

Ahhh, some lessons are learned the hard way! I have a very similar story from the first year we were married! Looks like lots of Christmas fun was had...even w/o the tree! Or did you get a new one?
