Minx (a nickname given by Primetime) was telling me today about her Christmas Tree. She and her husband put the tree up, maybe a little crooked, decorated it, confirmed that indeed it was not straight, but nothing that couldn't be fixed. However that could wait.
From a deep sleep Minx is woken by something falling. She thinks that is just something in her kids bathroom. She gets up and confirms that was probably the case, and relived goes back to bed.
She wakes, gets ready for work and about to leave the house when the not so straight tree, is now even less straight, in fact it now explains the noise in the middle of the night. The tree is on the floor, decorations are broken, and a mild panic is setting in so that the kids don't see it.
Time is ticking before the little angels wake, and Minx has to get to a meeting. What should be done? It wasn't straight to begin with, so with less time and in a panic it is unlikely to be straight this time. What to do? Of course you would rope the tree and tie it up so it won't fall again. Merry Redneck Christmas.
