How lovely are your branches



















As we continue our race through December (seriously, how can it already be the 16th?) we’re coming to terms with the fact that certain holiday dreams and goals will remain unfulfilled yet again this year, such as that ever-elusive plan to grow our own Christmas tree. I always have the best intentions, but years of hard-won procrastination skills paired with an impenetrable lack of ambition tend to prevent me from accomplishing anything involving that much forethought.

The makers of magic tree are aware of this personality flaw, and make it possible for even the slackers to pull off a home grown tree. You’re still not too late. Simply add some magic liquid and presto chango, six hours later you’ve got yourself an exquisite little evergreen. Decorations are also included; you get glitter, garland and a star! I think putting the gifts beneath this tree will make it seem like such a Christmas of bounty that we’ll forget all about the recession. The magic liquid is non-toxic (the best kind of magic) so you don’t have to worry about accidentally ingesting some. And who could blame you for wanting to try it?
