What has 1572 tips, is 7-feet tall, and can be purchased at your local Wal-Mart for $79.98? The artificial Christmas tree I promised my Mum I'd put up for her this year.Not only do you have to assemble the 1572 individual tips (which are actually on about a couple of hundred color coded branches or so-- which is the easy part), but you have to put together the holder and the staff which comes with assorted odd pieces. The kind where you end up with 3 extra thing-a-ma-bobs you never figure out where they belong.
What's more annoying about the box-o'-evergreen is that there are no instructions. Nothing but a perfectly adorned photo on the box of the finished fir unit.
Do I pour me a drink before or after the tree is put up?
