BIG BERTHA

HAVE YOU EVER GIVEN A CHRISTMAS TREE A NAME? WELL WE DID. THIS IS BIG BERTHA, SHE STANDS ABOUT 15 FEET TALL AND IS THE BIGGEST PAIN IN THE@*%^$ YOU WOULD EVER KNOW.
SHE IS CELEBRATING HER 14TH CHRISTMAS WITH US AND SHE STILL LOOKS GREAT.

HER BRANCHES HAVE TO BE PUT IN ONE BY ONE, FLUFFED AND SPACED. I KNOW MANY OF YOU WILL REMEMBER HER OVER THE YEARS AND HAVE MANY FOND MEMORIES, SO PLEASE SHARE IF YOU DO AND GIVE HER A CHANCE AT ANOTHER YEAR AT THE HANSEN HOUSE.

I AM PONDERING GETING AN EASIER REPLACEMENT FOR HER, BUT I'LL ADMIT I AM KIND OF ATTACHED TO HER.LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.

Oh yes, many fond memories of "big bertha!" When i was younger i seemed sooo much bigger. I have to admit putting branch by branch is not really a joy, but it sure is pretty when it is up and decorated.

I am very fond of this tree. However, it is a pain in the @$%! and I always hated to put it up. But it wouldn't be christmas without her. She is many memories for me. I say keep big bertha she deserves a couple more years. Her branches are not sagging and she still has good color. I know she is aging but aren't we all? My vote is for big bertha!
