Unbelievable

As much as I like to complain about the continual, creeping extension of the xmas season further and further into Autumn, I do feel compelled to present this blog post on an xmas theme even though we just got into November. Sometimes, you just see something and think, I need to blog about this.

Last night my lovely wife was looking through a flier and she showed me something I hadn't seen before -- an upside-down xmas tree. I'm not entirely sure why you would want something like this; there are vague assertions about displaying decorations, and comments about how many presents you can fit under a normal tree, but none of it holds much water. I think it's just a trendy thing to be doing, nothing more than novelty, which will be forgotten alongside hula-hoops and Pokemon and mohawk haircuts, to be looked back upon with a sheepish embarassment in some hopefully better future.

I think it looks pretty retarded.


The upside down tree.



So, in the spirit of curiosity, I went looking for xmas trees online, and found things which make the upside down tree look tame. Frightening things. Disquieting things.

For your approval -- the ceiling-hanging upside down xmas tree.





The Pink xmas tree.



The Elmo Tree.



The Corkscrew Tree.



The God-Bot Tree.



I wish I was making this up.

I saw that the other day in Home Depot.

Personally, I love it. I wanted to buy one right then and there.

Christmas is retarded.
People who like Christmas are more retarded.
People who would buy ANY of these trees should be the first candidates for mandatory sterilization.

Merry f*cking Christmas :)

I don't get the upside down trees. I really don't.

That spiral one is starting to grow on me, though.

The spiral tree is artsy and interesting and not as retarded as the rest.

Definately the less of the evils.
