We got lots of Christmas trees, hundreds, thousands of them, acres and acres of trees in fact.

They are all decorated now with snow.

There is an old Eskimo lady here that swears by her recipe for keeping a tree from losing its needles all through December and into January. I haven't tried it yet, but she dissolves two aspirin in a can of sprite, pours it into the water along with a tea bag or two. Sounds kinda kooky, but she says it works. Can't hurt anyway, right?

I bet that does work! It sounds a lot like the recipe for keeping cut flowers fresh that I've heard for years but never practiced.

I've also heard that Megan, that a couple of aspirin work well. That and a couple pennies, something about the copper.

I dunno... I'd get up and take a couple aspirin and give a couple to the tree, just to be nice. Whatever... it's all about being in the spirit right?

Why, thank you. When me and "The Goose" get together we make quite a team.

Meanwhile, I think my keyboard may be on fire. I smell smoke....
