So many times the name Charile Brown is refered to as someone that is to perform a task and does so in such a wrong way that it is somewhat sad. I always believed that this derived from the fact that Charlie Brown was sent out to get the best Christmas tree ever and he came back with that little 4 branch tree. One of my favorite lines of the cartoons ever was when I think that it was Lucy said "Charlie Brown, of all the Charlie Browns you are the Charlie Browniest" This leads me to believe that there was a reason prior to the cartoon series for the name but that I am unsure of. What I am sure of is that I got the Charlie Browniest Christmas tree ever. I went out and and got a tree on Black Friday during the 7-11 sales. I thought that I got a great deal but it turns out that I just threw away the 20 bucks that it cost for the tree. Christine tells me tree is fine but I am ALL about Christmas and to me the tree is just pathetic. It is skinny and nothing. I told her not to be surprised when she comes home one day and there is a diffrent tree in the house. I am so upset about the tree thing. I am usually not all that materilistic but ther is just something in me that cannot have this tree. I keep telling myself that the tree is fine and all I have to do is make it through this Christmas and we will get a new one next year, but this is REALLY hard for me. I love a huge Christmas tree like nothing else. Maybe I should just go get a real tree this weekend. What do you all think?
