Wilhelm Action Tree!
This year for the Wilhelm Annual Xtreme Xmas Xxtravaganza X-Tree we decided to put the many many many action figures we all have collected to good decorative use. Look closely and you will spy Wilhelm Wookie too. He's up at the top by Jesus and the Rancor. You can make out many of Jesus's pals in the tree throughout including the boxing rabbi, Amish, and Alien.
And yeah, its a live tree. My carbon foot print is small as it is so I don't need your guff. Actually I do feel badly about it, but it was a farmed tree, grown for this purpose. It had its time to absorb our excess carbon. My housemates, however, have never had a live tree before last year and I felt badly for them, so agreed to get a real cut tree. It is nice to be a little primeval, however, and bring the pagan green inside. Our tree, however, is thoroughly religious, in that Jesus, a rabbi, the Amish, Santa, and a skeleton, represent their religions making this a DIVERSETREE.

Excellent tree Theorris. And don't worry about the environmental implications of the real tree. I had a student write a commentary on fake trees. Her argument was the they're far worse than real trees--environmentally speaking. I can't remember her logic now, but I'm sure she was write. The argument seemed compelling and persuasive at the time, so there you go.

I hate fake trees.
I like the Action Tree. I bought a new chicken ornament for my tree today. Actually, it was a rooster, but I think roosters are still chickens, aren't they?

With the blinds, real tree and lights, your photo looks very retro.

I absolutely love the Rancor. I didn't have any intention of putting up a tree this year, but we have enough star wars action figures that we could probably do a death-star-run themed tree. Awesome!

Do it myridian! That would be a super-fantatic-awesomastic tree.

And Sarabellum. I always feel bad about real trees: I blame Robert Frost.

my tree is a little rosemary bush that has been cut to look like a tree. this seemed like an excellent idea since I could actually use the rosemary. I bought cranberries with the intention of decorating, but that hasn't happened yet.
