I’ve had some negative feedback about my artificial Christmas tree, and I completely agree. Last summer I had the brilliant idea of buying a pine tree pot plant, that would be even better than a cut down tree that would have to be thrown away, brown and sad, come the New Year. I bought the biggest tree I could find, with visions of us all decorating it together as a family in front of the fireplace in December. Well, here it is after a year of prodigious growth:
I must admit to being a little disappointed. I think it’s actually shrunk a little. And look what I found behind it!
Looks like the cigarette butt fairy has been visiting again. At least this explains why my tree is not flourishing – everyone knows smoking stunts your growth.
