It's not a tree. It's a metal sculpture that represents or mimics a Christmas tree. I'm not saying it's not pretty dang cool; I'm just saying it's not a tree.

Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Precisely Vicarious.  Not a tree, just more whiz-bang and glitter to take your eyes off the real prize.  And off the road.

I affirm Lundgren's comedic genious. Dry, it is.

I just wish "The Media" would stop calling it a tree. It's not a tree. There is no wood involved. At all.

Oh God, yes, the treachery is horrible!

(The image is terribly treacherous).

(The thing sucks.)

I've simply been calling it the Christmas Cone.

I get Barrett's comment now. It only took my 18 hours. Nice one, Barrett...I may have to surreptitiously attach a small "This is not a tree" note to the Christmas Cone.

On Sunday night with a friend who drove up from Mpls, I visited both Bentleyville and Marcia Hale's Holiday Spirit in the Lights displays for the first time. While Bentleyville had a lot to offer to families, we both felt that Holiday Spirit in the Lights won by far hands down for being not so 'in your face, overdone, and just loud', but rather quite tasteful and more relaxing. The lights, which reached all the way down to the beach, were a much enjoyed treat, especially enjoying the view back toward the yard, or the city, while hearing the gentle waves. I had driven past Hale's place over many years taking holiday lights viewing runs down Park Point and was sorry I had never stopped until now.
