Then there are the souls who wait until December 23rd. You know who you are—you’re the people buying sad, half-dead trees from the gas station parking lot at a 90% discount. There’s something poetic, and slightly panicked, about it.
Maybe life was too busy. Maybe you were in denial about winter. Or maybe you just wanted to prove you could be spontaneous. Whatever the reason, you’re valid. Just remember that your tree will likely be shedding needles on Christmas morning like a betrayed cat. But hey, you saved twenty bucks.
