Poor Vortex with the lack of sleep!
I bought a 14" live tree yesterday from Trader Joe's. It's very pretty, and smells nice.
However, my iPod is now dead like a dead thing. Wah.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Feel better, beth.
My cars are not really named but called "Schleppalong" or "Goofinoff" or, in the alternative by color, e.g., "Little White Car."
Bay Area Folks: We went to the Parkway last night to see Shut Up and Sing, and they announced they will be showing 3 Firefly episodes on Dec. 28th because their Buffy nights have been such overwhelming successes. The DH and I will be out of town, unfortunately.

I grew up with fake trees because I was allergic to the real ones. No fun spending xmas in a nonstop leaky eyes sneezefest.
So we had the classic space age silver tree in the early 70s with rotating color wheel. Oh, it was completely mesmerizing watching the color wheel turn and cast the tree with amber........green......blue......red.
Later we got a more complicated green tree with carefully shaped branches and a complex assembly schema. It was my job to assemble the tree every year, and I would always do it on the night The Little Drummer Boy aired. Then I'd eat the rock hard commercial fruitcake we'd get from our Georgia relatives and drink eggnog.
Typically I'd top it off by playing the Nutcracker Suite from our Time Life collection of Light Classical Music. Then I'd dance all around the living room, jumping on the couches and leaping over the hassock, or bouncing off the hassock and onto the couches.
Then in my late teens I lost my allergy to the real trees and we went back to real trees.
I kind of miss the aluminum one with the color wheel though.

All is well that ends in pizza.

We had one when I was a wee lad, too. I miss it, too. I wonder what happened to the color wheel, though...

Mostly lurking...
My parents still have the rotating base that we've had since I was a baby. It seems wrong to me that all trees don't do that. I mean, there are ornaments that NEVER get seen! It's tragic.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
We need to combine a Christmas tree with a Roomba. Then the tree can rotate and roam from room to room for all to see.

This is what I'm getting if I can find one locally. They rock. [link]
And you could totally attach it to the top of the Roomba.
Pinky, are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Tidewater Pearl?
Nope. Gotta love this name. It's Electric Green! Hot, no? It's a hybrid... Electric Green.... no clue how it is different from regular green. But eh, whatever.
It's a "classic" Prius, or 1st Generation (USA) Prius, so they have different color options. I've seen a Robin Egg Blue, tons of White ones, Electric Green, and I think Black. that is about it. I could be wrong, just what I've seen here in SoCal.
