Reason #2

We discovered that the arrival of the Christmas tree to our apartment also happened to coincide with an infestation of small, apparently innocuous, flying insects. So even though it's early, we decided to pack up the ornaments and get rid of it. It's too bad, because it had just started to stop smelling like urine. We are going to sneak the tree down to the street and leave it near the garbage tonight. We don't want our neighbors to see us because they are likely to wonder why anyone would get rid of a perfectly good christmas tree before Reyes (aka the Epiphany).

The Roma are a proud, historic people. However, amagomundi recommends that you purchase your tree from a nursery.

And so ended our tranquil Sopranos Christmas.

We did miss Pinhead this year, though.
