  • As a rule of thumb, it's a good idea to have chimneys cleaned at least once a year. Usually before cold weather sets in.

    Nearly $300 For A Black Christmas Tree?!

    Black_christmas_treeAccording to the website that sells the black Christmas tree:

    The Black Christmas Tree is a hot tree trend in 2007! The high gloss
    needles on the downswept branches add elegance and drama to your
    holiday decor. This tree was seen in the USA Today, the Wall Street
    Journal and many more. Availability is limited.

    Now, I’ve seen some white Christmas trees that I thought were well done, and I’ve even seen some pink Christmas trees that I thought were kitschy enough to be fun, but black? Christmas is supposed to be a season of joy, not "I’m so cool even my Christmas tree is black." And I say this from a perspective of a person whose wardrobe is at least half black. I love the color black. Just not for Christmas trees.

    I don’t know why, but I find this nearly offensive. What say you?

    I agree, totally offensive. I would never do a black tree. Seems like something the Grinch would put up!


    Looks AWESOME. Not depressing or Grinchy at all. We love ours!
