All I Want for Christmas

My Halloween woes have been replaced with the commercial needs of Christmas. I know that the inevitable questions would come about what we wanted for Christmas. Nothing ever seems to satisfy, right? Just give me food! Maybe another pot-luck is in order? Don't ask me yet. I just want to ignore the world. Halloween wasn't fulfilling enough (is it ever?) don't give me Christmas, my heart isn't ready. I didn't think my spirit would kick in until it got super-cold, or until I found a cute e-card I liked. But, no, it came in the form of Wil Wheaton. While looking at his exiled-blog, he mentioned something that made my heart grow three sizes too big, and made my feet do the Snoopy Dance. People, this is it. When you see, you will want it. It's the Charlie Brown Pathetic Christmas Tree. From the Charlie Brown Christmas Movie.

Product Description Good Grief. Learn the true meaning of Christmas with Charlie Brown's classic pathetic Christmas tree. Leave it bare or dress it up all fancy. The tree is an exact replica of the tree from the famous cartoon, made of wire branches and plastic needles with a criss cross wooden base. The bendable branches allow you to make it look just how you want, super pathetic or just kind of pathetic. The tree comes with one red Christmas ball ornament. Plus the bendable branches make it possible to fold the tree entirely flat for easy storage during the non-yuletide times of the year.* Wire / plastic / wood base* Base: 91/2"l, 27/8"w; Tree: 21"h; glass ball: 3"w* Take care with rough wood base, as it tends to splinter* Imported
