Clearly you need a saw, if you're going to have a Proper Christmas.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
YOU GUYS ARE KILLING ME AND MY TREE

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
You don't have a saw? It's like you don't even know the true meaning of Christmas!

Hah. Let me recommend from the one and only time my family got a tree, that you NOT saw off the bottom indoors anyway. Because that's how a bargain $5 tree stand ends in your ceiling having green marks, your carpet covered in pine and sap and wood, your vacuum blowing up and stinking, and you going to Walmart and buying a brand new $30 tree stand.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Timelies, Buffistas!
The last time I bought a tree the guy cut off the last couple of inches for me, which was nice.
I'm dog-sitting and expected to be woken at 6AM by the demon dog, but she allowed me to sleep in until 7:30! Such a good girl. I have walked them and had breakfast and now I need to clean house and pay bills. And then take my folks to see Lincoln.
I'm all excited--I splurged on a big sale at J. Crew the other day, including a black pencil skirt and a bright red shirt, and they're going to be delivered on Monday! Which means I can wear my new clothes for Christmas day.
Small things, yay.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Someone else nailed a stake through it's heart, we're just stating the facts.

I was awake 4 hours of the last 24. Involuntarily, I just kept passing out.

Because in my household procrastination is a refined art form, I am buying my parents' Christmas gifts today. My mother is the most difficult person on earth to shop for, I'm sure. I know she really likes this relatively expensive moisturizer - is that an acceptable gift? It feels really dull to me, but I do know she likes it.

Merry Christmas to me! I have finally cleared all my projects, turned on the out of office, ordered a ham as big as my head, and, to fulfill a promise to myself that I whiffed on this summer, rented this place for a week in July: [link]

Through a combination of cordless drill, hammerS, wedge, screwdriver and brute force, we've got most of the nails out. Seven nine- inch nails seem a little excessive for a disposable stand.
