Sound-Off has had several mentions of finding a Christmas tree with a hole drilled in the butt. A lot of people bought the funny looking base with three legs and a spike and a green plastic container for the water. I know we did many years ago and found the tree stands straighter and lasts longer than the traditional green and red tripod with the saucer base.

Be of good cheer! Steve and Laura Allen sell the trees from their lot on Picard between Doozy's and the Red Bird pet and garden shop. I don't usually put commercial ads in my blog, but this fills a community need: Merry Christmas!
