Oh, Christmas Tree!

We bought our family Christmas tree this year. We paid $36.57 for it. Last year, we got a nice tree, similar in size and appearance for only $25. The place we bought from last year is no more so we went somewhere else. Nonetheless, that's 46% more than we paid last year! Forget the 12% increase in the price of a gallon of gasoline! Dubya should be doing something about the obvious gouging by the Xmas tree farms!
