...but did ya notice the homemade Reddit alien ornament?! My son, 15, made that. I'm going to do a Tumbletree EVERY year. It has been a wonderful conversation piece, cheap, and heck, I could keep it up all year as it doesn't need water. I can't believe more folks don't do this. Hopefully, I am starting a new Southwestern trend. You will probably see Tumbleweed merchants fill the Texas streets next November. It's just a matter of time.
Ohhh, no I didn't. My grandparents and I have a Christmas tradition that I fly in or drive in from wherever I may be, we cut a little beat-up spruce tree down from their land in the Texas Hill Country, and slather it in lights. It's a great (free) tradition, memory-making, all that stuff. I don't know why everyone doesn't do something similar!
