Griswald Christmas (Hennesy Style)

We don't have any pictures of Holley Ryan in this update, rather this is the story of her first Christmas tree. I got up early this morning and braved the crowds at Wal-Mart. I wasn't really shopping for any big ticket items but it was fun to watch Coffee county's finest maul each over 50 cent sheets and towels. I came home and picked up Lori and Holley Ryan and we went to Lowe's to pick out a tree (Actually, I picked out the tree because Lori said it was too cold, so her and Holley Ryan sat in the car). After a diligent search (i.e. grabbing the first tree I came upon), I got the young high school kid working the garden center to lash the tree onto the roof of the 'Vous. I told him not to kill himself latching it down since we were only going a couple of miles. Needless to say we barely made it home. We rode over half the way to the house with it nearly rolling off the back of the car, as you can see from the picture(the tree started between the luggage racks).
