This year we have been plagued by a falling Christmas Tree. Three nights ago, after spending the whole afternoon buying, and setting up the Christmas tree we jumped out of our beds around 1:00am in the morning after hearing a loud crash!
The Christmas Tree was laying on the floor. Lots of shattered glass ornaments, water and pine needles everywhere. We spent the next half hour cleaning up but it crashed again as soon as we turned the light off to go back to bed. Another half an hour later we decided to just lean the tree against the wall and call it a night!
The day after we set up the tree again and let it stand for a couple of days before redecorating it. Every day the tree kept leaning more and more. We finally drilled a hole in the wall and put a wire to hold the tree up. It's still leaning but at least (we hope) it won't fall again. Apparently the tree is so soft that the screws of the stand go right through it :(
This morning I saw this video on MSNBC. My first thought was: "At l east he didn't have to clean up the mess at 1:00am in the morning...twice!!!"
