Last week Nathan and I were putting up the fake Christmas tree and we were discussing how much we miss the smell of a live Christmas Tree. I got the idea to look online, on a website called taobao that is similar to Amazon. Sure enough, they had advertisements for 生命圣诞树, which literally means "Live Christmas Tree". Well, I knew it would be a flop, but by this time Nathan was excited about the prospect and it was only $30 including shipping, so I thought how bad can it be? At least it will make it smell like Christmas.
Well, Friday we learned just how bad it could be. Remember "Charlie Brown's Christmas"? Well we found his tree. It even has the roots attached and the top even bent over when we put on an ornament.
And the worst part is, it doesn't even smell good.
Although it does look a little better with the ornaments on.

Aaaahhh! I love this! What a great story! And who cares if it's not what you had in mind - this is totally better. :)
that is totally awesome . . . and I knew all about purchasing christmas gifts on taobao, but who would've thought that I could have found a live tree there too!! maybe you should suggest to the seller that he include the words "Charlie Brown's Christmas" in the product description!
Priceless... I think this is all kinds of awesome, even though it's not what you wanted. All you can do is laugh, right???
