RE: [VFB] Christmas Tree Swap question...

[Jim Collins]

Title: Meddelande

For us it is actually a joint project. I assemble the tree (yes, it’s fake) and put the lights up. She applies the “snow” and then we both hang the ornaments and tinsel. Some years (not this one) our grandson is here and he helps with all phases.     Jim Collins    ------------ Fishing is not a matter of life or death.

(And for those who just started to smile: I'm talking actual PIE.)   Question: How many of the MEN will now take credit for trees decorated by the wives, while they did something "far more important" themselves? I GUESS this attack wasn't directed towards Deb and Peggy. But the fact that I'm taking orders from Teresa just proves that also women can be the bosses. So, now when I don't have Teresa over my shoulder, I "twist" the question so Deb and Peggy won't automatically be home free... so: How many of the participants have actually decorated the trees on the pictures.   Answering for myself:: I wanted to decorate it this Christmas but that was out of the question. She simply wouldn't let me. I had to stand there with tears in my eyes and watch her having her fun... so I don't feel any guilt what so ever.   /Nick
