Oh tannin' bum



This year's Christmas tree. Courtesy of the officially licensed Charlie Brown Pathetic Tree. To make it even more pathetic than standard issue, I sprinkled dried up rosemary needles underneath. I find humor in how A Charlie Brown Christmas TV special rallies against commercialism, while I gladly paid $24 for a cheap ass replica Charlie Brown Pathetic Tree. A couple of dollars in materials and packaging. Some licensing fees. Huge huge profit margins on these things. So commercial. So wrong. So very un-Charlie Brown-like. So worth it for the irony. Surely the true meaning of Christmas.
