The 12 [theoretical] Ways to fail at Christmas Tree Assembly

for poser-trees only.




1. You're trying to string lights around it, when you realize the tree ROTATES so its just following you and your lights are getting nowhere.

2.
Your true love shoves a partridge in your face and tells you to provide it a tree. Great.
Expect some extra 'ornaments' to show up while it sits there.


3. Not only do the branches fall off, but the individual units of pine sticking out fall off. And then the actual pine falls off the stick too.

4. You step on an ornament. Ow.

5. You're still stringing lights around the rotating tree when you realize you didn't leave enough of the wire to reach the nearest outlet, at which point you attempt to rotate the tree to free up some wire, and it doesn't budge.

6. You attached the longest branches to the top and the shortest to the bottom, giving you an upside-down tree.

7.
Your tree does not fit in any room in the house vertically. So maybe letting it sit on its side isn't so bad.

8. You're OUT of ornaments. So you reach for whatever you can find. Forks, ping pong balls, usb drives..

9. Your presents don't fit under the tree. by the time you get it to fit, your tree is molded around your presents.

10.
You're finished assembling it, stand up proudly to take a look. Dad walks by and screams "NOOO! YOOU LOPSIDEDDD!"

11. You notice that the tree has grown since last year. It might even have produced blossoms.

12. You finally give up, take your handy axe/chainsaw/violin bow, and go outside to chop down the nearest evergreen object you can find and bring it inside. It's probably dead.
