Tree Trimming at The Ranch (Part Deux ...)
(not to be confused with trimming your BEVR)
We know what Ranch Tradition calls for when it comes to trimming the tree, but with MCWL, LTS and all the Joyful Noises ... uh, the Joyful Noise Tour ... this year we found ourselves a little behind ...
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that... Wait. What stockings are we talking about here?
Where are the stockings? We don't have any stockings! Eh, Karen!!! Have you seen any stockings? Jannet! Are you WEARING the stockings? Do we have Tinsel? Anything? I can't believe we sat here listening to MCWL for 2 weeks and we haven't even thought about the tree!!Tap Jill and tell her to take those headphones off for a minute.
We've read that book at least 3 times each, but have we hung a single wreath?! Nooooooooo. We've got to get started here. We need to decorate this place for Christmas! Killer, get your pocketknife and go cut us a tree, will you. Broads, we need decorations! We'll need your Clay thongs.
OH Cindy, we know you have at least 12 pair, give em up baby! Go hang those on the fireplace.
See, now we have stockings. And look, you hung them with care!! Good.
Paula, where are those tassels you have hidden? Don't look at us like that. We KNOW you have a stash. Go, now! Wendy & I have those Jingle bell thongs from Frosty! See, we knew those would come in handy. And people made fun of us. Who is laughing now! And those of you who have your Clay Balls you'll need to hang them!Yes Melissa, we know you sleep with yours and we are sorry but we needs those Balls! How are we going to trim anything without Clay's Balls!
Killer, nice tree. We were thinking Spruce but Redwood will do. You're right Diana, it IS our state tree.
Alright, everyone off with their skirts. Don't look at us like that! We need a tree skirt. Did you see how thick that trunk is?? Kat, will you collect the skirts and make us something pretty for the tree. Or, we could use that green sweater he wore the other night. That thing is big enough.
MGM Pat, will you go get some of those shiny ties we have hidden in the cedar chest. Don't worry, it's for a good cause. We need bows for the wreath don't we!
We need a tree topper! Pam, what are you doing? Get down from the top of that tree! Yes, we know you like to reach new heights with Clay's Balls but this not the time nor the place! We are looking for something a little more traditional.
We need something that holds special meaning.
Karen Nyeee what is THAT?!? Put that down, we are NOT using that at the top of our tree. Yes, you are talented, but no.
Kinri, step away from the CLIG ... although it is technically a 'topper' and it does hold special meaning to some of us ... that thing has to be dry cleaned and disinfected before it gets anywhere NEAR that tree!
Nelle, honey slow down. What is it? Ohhhhhh, that is perfect!
Awww, look. Pat's and Nancy ITP made us a little manger scene outside. Kelly, honey, would you go stand in as our Virgin Mary. We know it's cold, be we need a Virgin and pick'ns are slim. No, the goats won't hurt you honey, those aren't even real.
Wow, look at this place. We have a decorated tree.
We have stockings. There's bows on our wreath, a Virgin in our manger. Look how beautiful. The Broad's know how to do it up right!
Anyone for Christmas carols?
Oh Come All ye Lech'rous ... Joyful and Triumphant -
Ummmm, RaleighGurl, what are you doing in the tree? We already HAVE our topper. You're what? Ohhhh, hiding the pickle.
Durrrty Gurrrrl .... you know Clay's the only one who gets to hide the pickle!!!
