Oh... Tannenbaum?


"Dad? Why does Santa have a Christmas tree?"

"For decoration, I guess?"

"But if the tree is for putting presents under and all of the presents are coming from Santa, why does he need a tree?"

"I don't know, Bob. Maybe he gives himself a present?"

"Or Mrs. Claus?"

"Oh, yeah. Good one. Mrs. Claus."

"I should probably just ask Santa."

  1. He better have something for Mrs. Claus if he knows what's good for him. Make sure Bob R. learns that early! If wife says, "That's okay, I'm fine!"-- know that she is full of you know what so get her something sparkly anyway. Or an iPad.

  2. I am laughing at what gradydoctor said. She is RIGHT!
    Send Bob Rosenberg over here and I will tell him about Christmas Trees and pagans. This could serve to confuse him even more. Or not. Bob seems smart enough to me to figure out the tenuous web between religions and their celebrations and...Star Wars.
