O Christmas tree

*clears throat*

Ode to an artificial tree.
Ode to an artificial tree.

Oh Christmas tree! Oh Christmas tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging!
We bought you, tree, from QVC
Thy leaves are so unchanging!

We chose you from our comfy chair
while shopping in our underwear,
Oh Christmas tree! Oh Christmas tree!
Delivered in a box, to me!

Oh Christmas tree! Oh Christmas tree!
Aluminum and plastic!
Oh Christmas tree! Oh Christmas tree!
Assembly is fantastic!

You bring such joy from far and near
And look the same from year to year
Oh Christmas tree! Oh Christmas tree!
With plastic leaves unchanging!

    This is hilarious. I sang it along with you. The plastic/fantastic rhyme is brilliant. And I’m tough to impress with song parodies. 🙂

    Oooh pretty. I love our artificial tree, which has to be twenty years old or close to it now. I think we should try a real tree one year.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
