National Christmas Tree Week

.
Let's celebrate!!

Did you know that for the first time ever in the history of America, we have set aside the first week in December to remember Christmas trees! Yes, our United States Senator from Oregon, second year Democrat, Jeff Merkly, introduced the resolution naming that time as National Christmas Tree Week, and it was unamimously passed by the entire Senate!

So, mark your calendar. We have only four more days to party. Merkley says it will honor the joy that Christmas trees bring to families everywhere each December. Go figure.

Well they are made in America (well mostly in Oregon), but will our festivities that Merkley created for us create any new jobs? Will it give peace to the millions of us that are unemployed? Will our 401K stock values return to the 2005 level> Could it effect the housing market, or make the environmentalists at ease? Maybe it will counter Global Warming.

Starting Thursday, the first full week in December will be designated as National Christmas Tree Week.

Jeff Merkley is a Bozo, and so are the rest of the clowns in the Senate that wasted our money on such a worthless issue. It is not like he is new trying to get some face time. He's been in the Oregon legaslature for four terms. But, I guess, at least the Senate accomplished something this year. After all, the've done nothing to address the real issues of America, like our growing debt.

Well anyway, as I was getting a refill at our local discount gas station, I mentioned to the attendant about it being National Christmas Tree Week and I was about to celebrate. He responded by saying he thought it was a great idea because we need more holidays, especially paid ones.

I replied, "Dude, you got to be sh-t--g me!" He got a strange look on his face as if he wanted to make me think that he was actually thinking, but I knew that was not possible.

As a side note, our 9th grandchild was born this past December 1, and she was as beatiful as any Christmas Tree I've seen. And that is cause to celebrate!
