Bah Humbug!

Last Christmas, my mother was elated to have found a tree with lights embedded in the branches. Built in so to speak. All she had to do was stand it up and hang ornaments. It saved her lots of work.

The thing is still standing in the corner, with a sheet over it. Good lord mother, it's almost February. The way she nodded her head, said it would be even less work to set it up next Christmas. Just pull down the sheet, and presto, there it is, complete with built in lights, and this year, adornments.

My mother has always said she has no use for all those new gagets these days. Bah, Humbug! Now each time we visit, we've got to step around a six foot, sheet covered X-mas tree that came with a new twist.

She now owns an X-mas tree you don't have to put up anymore. What's next?
