RIP Grimace 1.0, Introducing Grimace 2.0!

see previous post is no longer with us. The tree was with us exactly 2 weeks (and was probably alive for about 1 whole week) so we either bought a diseased tree or one which was cut about 2 months ago. Lori and I were both sad to see our Christmas (grimace) tree dry up and become all crispy needled. I called up All American and told them of my bum tree and the manager told me to bring it back and they’d take a look at it.
When we got there they were busy (I think the old no sales tax sale was going on at the time) the manager on duty told me to wheel the tree in and leave it in a cart in the entrance and then to go pick a similar tree and bring it back to him. We picked a new tree and wheeled out this one (even exchange!) and brought it home to decorate.
Grimace 2.0 doesn’t look much like Grimace at all. This tree is much greener and very moist (and heavy, did I mention we live on the 3rd floor) so hopefully this one will last until the new year! I think Lori did a fantastic job decorating this tree and it does look a bit nicer than Grimace 1.0.
So while we mourn the loss of Grimace 1.0 (Just as Maggie had finally made peace with It and was playing, hiding and jumping hidden from the inside of it) we are happy to have this new tree and I urge you all to shop at All American (lets not get into why I hate calling it that now) and save your receipt!
