... y'know, I never had a Christmas tree, never decorated anything for the
holidays. I think you gentiles have the right idea. Sometimes the Jews are
just to friggin' serious. But tell me, isn't putting a tree up the day
after t'giving a bit early?

And all through the house, my wife and daughters were dragging up boxes from the basement and working furiously to decorate the Christmas tree. That's somewhat of a tradition around here. My part of the job was to go out and buy a tree this morning. I opted for a long needle Scotch Pine this year. We haven't had one of those in many years.

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
