Christmas Cointest

[+The Fossillady]

Make us all suffer and guess silly stuff. For a contest that was suppose to be pretty quick, it is now over 2 1/2 hours with no sign of the owner in two hours and no hints. Good night all and Merry Christmas

Maybe this is the first time in fifteen years that you won't be handing out the presents from under the tree.

[+fairyhoney]

You won't have to address the Christmas cards because your computer can do it

[+Nochipra]

Go Geocaching since you will be too busy with company coming in for the Holidays.

[+Jackalgirl]

You won't have to squint to watch "A Christmas Story" because you finally got that wide-screen HD-TV!

 

("Randy lay like a highly-defined, gloriously realized full-color slug; it was his only defense.")

[+Rockin Roddy]

Put lights on the Christmas tree...you bought a pre-lit tree!

[+dhenninger]

Hint:

It has to do with Christmas Trees. not buying, but .........

I love that movie! "He had yellow eyes! SO HELP ME GOD, YELLOW EYES!!"

 

Since we were already blessed with one of these awesome handmade beauties, we are enjoying reading everyone else's replies. Good luck!

[+KrazyTrollz]

miss Christmas dinner and shovel snow!!!

[+KrazyTrollz]

you won't have to plant a bunch of Christmas trees!!!! and get bit by the needles!

[+surteb]

You won't have to decorate it.

[+Accordiongal]

My guess is: you opbtained a silver tinsel tree because your Christmas heart desired one!

[+surteb]

You won't have to cut down your own Christmas tree.

[+Nochipra]

You won't be selling Christmas Trees this yr

[+PSU Fan]

Yo won't be selling trees for your son's Scout Troop

[+surteb]

You won't have to stretch to put the angel on top because you finally bought one of those teeny tabletop trees.

[YemonYime]

You won't have to stand out in a cold parking lot waiting for folks to decide whether they want the Scotch Pine or Douglas Fir, because this is the first time in 15+ years you didn't haul all those needled PIA's from the farm to the burbs to sell 'em to Mr. and Mrs. America?

[+Rockin Roddy]

You won't have to watch Rudolph on the tube this year.

[+PSU Fan]

You won't have to be the conductor of the school musical, buy a tree that everyone will laugh at, then quite since you are a joke, then have all the kids fix up your tree and sing Christmas Carols to you.

[+surteb]

You won't be the poor guy hauling the trees to everyone's cars and trying to tie them securely to the roofs so they don't fall off on the way home while the occupants are inside singing "O Christmas Tree"

[+Steinwälzer]

You don't have to carry that large tree upstairs because you moved and now you don't have any stairs to your living room

[+bassmig]

The tree you planted in the corner of the living room is finally big enough to use as a Christmas tree, you won't have to chop one down?

[+Rockin Roddy]

After years of lugging the ladder out to decorate your large tree(s) outside your home, you FINALLY bought (or know someone who bought) a cherry picker! So, for the first time in 15 years, no fumbling with the ladders to decorate the tree(s)!

[+PSU Fan]

With the high price of real estate and people buying more artificial trees, you have finally decided to sell your tree farm to a builder

[+Rockin Roddy]

OK...as much as I'd LOVE one of those great hand made coins, I'm just plumb out of guesses, so good luck all! I've got to go into town and get some financial business straightened out!!

 

THANKS for the cointest dhenninger......and for the diversion from my morning humdrums!

[+Jackalgirl]

You won't be installing your Christmas tree right-side up this year 'cause you got one of those nifty up-side-down ones!

[+PSU Fan]

You have been responsible for making sure that the cut trees have water, so that the needles do not fall off too quickly when some one buys one of the trees that you oversee. ...

 

so you are giving up your WaterBoy job.

Heh! That was a great line too. I love Fergus. ; ) And now that we've had a baby, I can't help but think of "my mother has not had a hot meal in 15 years." ; )

[+Jackalgirl]

You won't have to dress up like Santa and make a show of putting presents under the tree?

[+PSU Fan]

You do not have to make a fake tree this year for the school play

[+PSU Fan]

The past 15 years you have dressed up as a Christmas Tree ... you are off the hook this year

[+surteb]

You are not buying, selling, cutting down, lighting, decorating, or in any other way having anything to do with a Christmas Tree as the early showing of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" finally struck a chord in you heart. So, you will be stealing Christmas Trees this year.

[+surteb]

You are not buying a tree because one was donated to you - prelit and predecorated.

[+surteb]

You are not buying or selling trees - you are giving them away free because you have so much holiday spirit.

[+surteb]

You are not jacking up the prices on the trees you sell and using the extra cash to pay for your electricity bill due to the overwhelming amount of lights decorating your house.

[+surteb]

You are not using a pine tree for Christmas this year but have opted to chop down the heirloom maple in your hard and use that instead.

[+PSU Fan]

You are not baking Christmas Tree shaped cookies

[+surteb]

You are not using a star or angel on the top of your tree but instead will be sitting on the top of the tree yourself until you finally get to meet Santa.

[+surteb]

You are trying to be an environmentalist and will not use a tree but instead become the tree allowing one and all to wrap you with lights and decorations.

[+dhenninger]

You won't be selling Christmas Trees this yr

We have a winner!!

 

I won't be selling christmas tree this year!

Our family sold the tree farm, but not to a developer, to another farmer.

Thanks to everyone that guessed

[+surteb]

Congrats Nochipra! I figured you got that one when I saw your answer. I was just having a lot of fun with this one.

 

Thanks for the contest!

Congrats Nochipra!!!

 

Glad to hear that another farmer bought the land, not a developer... too much commercialization happening.

 

Happy Holidays to All!!!!
