this tree needs you

My mom decided to boycott a tree this year since I’m not coming home and so “we’ll just go over to your sister’s since she has two trees.”

I decided that was totally unacceptable, and playing on one year when my dad brought home the ugliest tree ever, I sent them this: This Tree Needs You.

They sent me a video message just now of Christmas music playing and this tiny little tree, in the same location as the tree usually is (and usually it’s 20 feet tall, so this tree looks hysterical).

One bad part about being in a relationship… trading off Christmas’ with family. :p

(Oh, and on a side note, Urban Outfitters used DHL to ship this to them and a) it took two weeks when it was supposed to take one and b) when I complained, they said they’d update the website and I don’t have a choice of shipping method. Ridiculous.)
