I just bought a little scrawny "Charlie Brown" Christmas tree. I brought it home and my whole family waved our arms all around it just like the "Peanuts" kids did in the cartoon. But nothing happened at all. How come it worked in the tv special... and my tree looks like its ready to become kindling?
I think that show is a form of false advertising. *pouts*

Put a Nieman Marcus sales tag on it. That might help. Maybe if you look hard enough you might see the outline of Baby Jesus on one of the scraggly branches and you can sell it on e-bay. I just auctioned off my magic waffle with the indelible picture of the Virgin Mary on it. Forgive me for being snoopy, but did you really think that would work? That is something that someone from the Woodstock generation might fall for. Just let it stand there for a spell. Miracles can happen. However, those Christmas trees can't be fooled. You can't con a fir.

After trapsing through the woods to find the"perfect" tree we sometimes came home with one that is a bit sparse in the boughs. Since the Charlie Brown magic never worked for us we took matters in our own hands! We would go back out and get another tree, cut the branches off. drill holes into the first tree and push the extra branches into the holes! Tada! instant fuller looking tree and the extra branchs left from tree #2 we used to decorate inside the house or outside. Now because of the "false branches", they don't last as long as the original tree so be careful about leaving lights on for really long extended periods of times as it will be a bigger fire hazard!

Yes even the sweetest cats are evil like that! Just make sure you don't put any breakable ornaments on it if you do decide to get a Christmas tree. My ex and I learned the hard way one year and some of our favorite ornaments were broken due to the cats knocking the entire tree over from playing in it. Also be careful about putting presents under a tree with the water in the stand, mine would paw and play in the water, then when the tree took it's fall the water got all over everything we had under there.

If you are able to buy a real tree and plant it then you could have a tree outside with all the trimmings.
I just thought of a problem with that you couldn't put the pressies under it
plan B
I know a pot plant inside then after christmas you could plant it
what do you think well thought out or back to the drawing board
lol

I can't believe, no....I really can't.....Oh ....believe that you would kill a tree. You? Sensitive, compassionate you? For what? A simple momentary pleasure for you and your family? *hangs my head*. What about the tree? Has it no feelings? Has it no humanity (Ok, maybe not) Has it no right to live?
What's next? Cutting the grass? Thousands upon thousands of little baby blades being whacked off (umm...cut off)?
And now you're just going to burn it up? For kindling?
Oh my. Humans can be SO cruel.

you get small paper ornaments with your kids baby pics on em and a few more as they grew, this will cause a gathering around the tree with much disscussion and a we bit of "hey thats not me"
banter, it makes for a christmas memory they will carry for a lifetime,no matter what the tree appears to look like.good question.

I take it the person who sold you the tree didn't give you the magic dust that you didn't see put on during the cartoon? What bastards! I say you take it back and demand a refund or you get the dust..

Try and find fiber optic lights(look like strands of hair with changing colours), they are quiet cheap, but the effects are awesome. So even if your tree looks dead there is still hope!!

Man, this just reminded me of a cartoon I watched the other week. It was called "It's motherf*cking Ramadan, Charlie Brown".
Hillarious but SO wrong in so many ways.
