It’s time to dismantle the Christmas tree. For most
households, that involves pulling apart artificial, pre-lit sections. For us,
it means cutting off the lower limbs to have a chance at getting it out the
door.
Holiday visitors have all had the same reaction as they’ve
rounded the corner into the living room: “Oh my gosh, look at the size of that
tree!” That’s followed inevitably by: “How did you get it in the door?”
It was by no means easy. That’s why we came to refer to this
tree as “The Beast.”
