This was the first year that we had a real tree and that sucker was over 7 feet tall and *huge*! Too bad that there were more needles on the floor than on the tree by the time Christmas was over. I usually leave it up until the New Year, but given the fact that it was about naked, we got rid of it the day after Christmas.

In fact, the pit bull was already trying to drag it by a few of the bottom limbs.

EXACTLY.

I don't believe in superstitions or all that other stuff. They have no power unless you believe in them.

I don't believe in any superstitions. I don't care about walking under ladders or closing other people's pocket knives or opening umbrellas inside.

Stevie Wonder said it so well: "When you believe in things, that you don't understand, then you suffer--superstition ain't the way." Words to live by.

I've never heard of that. Pure coincidence.
