Christmas tree
Has anyone else ever had a Christmas tree that they have hated? I hate the one we have this year. This is my first Christmas not living with my parents(I live next door, but still not with them). Well my girlfriend got a good deal on a tree last year for the after Christmas sale at the Navy Exchange for like $3.00. Started putting it up and I can see why it was so cheap. It had white lights already strung into it so we thought it would look pretty good.
WRONG!! I added some color lights to it, but right now, I am about ready to tear it down and burn the thing. This is the skinniest tree I have ever seen. It leans to the side. Half of the lights are not working correctly. There are huge gaps everywhere from where it doesn't branch out correctly. I can't have have a tree over 6 1/2' due to our short ceiling here in my house so it is hard to find another tree. I do know, I won't be using this tree again next year except for maybe on the front porch or something.
Just had to rant about this

If you toss the tree you're only out $3.00. Give it to a needy family and get a better one, Christmas isn't tomorrow, you have time and there are shorter trees out there. You should be able to find one at Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Sears, Lowes, K-mart...the list goes on. Check sale ads for someone selling one that would be shorter.
