decking our halls

1 - number of trees left at Lowes the saturday before Christmas.
2 - number of ornaments broken.
3 - amount of dollars our Charlie Brown tree cost.
4 - strands of glowing LED lights. Totally recommend  if you want to pretend it's a bar instead of your tree.
5 - minutes  to determine the ripster might need to be put in his kennel.
6(0) - seconds to break heirlooms and have Mama decide to pack up the precious ones. For another year.
