A dot.com Christmas

Just when you thought you had run out of things to order online... along comes pinesandneedles.com. Ric and I couldn't find any Christmas tree lots close by, and were not very enthusiastic about the prospects of stuffing a tree onto the tube to get it back to Hampstead. Luckily, we found out how the Brits do Christmas trees. They order online. Unfortunately, you don't get a whole page of specific tree pictures to chose from (maybe next year), but you do get to pick the height and type of tree you'd like and it gets dropped off on your doorstep. You could even get a fully decorated one with lights, if you want to pay a little extra. Throw in a wreath and some mistletoe and you're in business. We certainly live in an online world...
