Late Again

Who else still has the Christmas tree standing?  Don't lie to me.  Yep.  We still have a tree up.  We have a tree up for the same reason we usually put the tree up in October or November.  It goes up whenever the huzbin has a few days off to tackle the beast.  We don't just have a tree, we have a village that goes under the tree.  A very large village that takes forever to set up.  And the huzbin is the mayor, so he rules.  We were going to take the tree down last weekend, but he was on call and some of those thoughtless patients decided to get sick so no tree take down occurred here.  We were going to take it down this coming weekend, but something has come up and we cannot take it down.  If you come to my house and the tree is up, say nothing.  We use to have a Christmas tree that stayed year round.  Yes, we're freaks.  One year our Christmas tree stayed up until late February.  This tree and village is very pretty.  The tree sparkles and glistens and the village invites you to enter and become a Christmas shopper, house decorator, car salesman, truck driver, cop, taxi driver, Christmas tree salesman, basketball player, dog walker, or any of the many other fun occupations that dwell in the village.  Of course, you have to stand in place for a long time and that might not be your cup of tea.  I have a favorite house in the village.  It's a pink midcentury split level and it's fantastic!!  I can see myself moving in right after I shrink myself using my shrinking machine that I haven't yet invented. So although the tree and village are still up, they'll be coming down soon.  If you want to claim a house or occupation, come on over and we'll find one for you after I shrink you.  I would love to have a neighbor!
