Becoming "Torontonian"
So on Saturday, after starting out with a very "Charlie Brown" artifical Christmas tree, my roommate and I decided to put that one back in its box and go and buy a REAL Christmas tree. Not owning a car, that would mean carrying it home on the subway! The TTC culture still holds true when two girls laughing hysterically and carrying a stinking tree get onto the subway - you still are stoic, look straight ahead, don't move, don't smile, and certainly don't talk. How can you not laugh at that?!? Come on people! I wish I had more than just the "mental picture". But I did feel very Torontonian - everything by public transit.

Yeah for the REAL Christmas tree. My brother actually bought one today trying to "Deck the halls". The only problem being that we may have to cut a hole in the ceiling to stand it up inside.
Still, the Charlie brown Christmas remains a favorite.
Good to hear you girls have such an adventure.

I love that you actually went a got a real tree. Thats hilarious. I wish I could have seen what people were thinking as you brought a TREE onto the subway!! hahaha!! So I just had this thought that is was your birthday recently, or its coming up in a few days or something. Am I right?? Well, HAPPY belated or early Birthday anyways!!!
