Christmas comes but once a year, like a tidal wave of madness, made up of Mariah Carey fans, bargain hunters, savvy shoppers, eggnog nuts, disgruntled relatives, and more. Seems like Christmas comes for quite a substantial amount of time every revolution around Sol…*ahem*…much like a Mother-In-Law who gushes over the new Bachelor, but not over your new wardrobe choices. Personally, I think flannel pajamas should be an all year vibe, but whatever Becky. Sorry to get intimate there.
With bad Jello molds and dead relatives sure to be brought up in the next few months, morbidly or otherwise, I’m sure you’re preparing as best you can. I, for one, would applaud your effort already with a subscription to the Jelly of the Month Club (the gift that keeps on giving), but you’ve got a lot of work to do, and I’m here to help.
Any good holiday celebration, whether it lasts for 2 weeks or 2 month, starts with the center piece. That, of course, is the tree in the den. Or living room. Or wherever. It sets the stage, if you will. If you were to consider your house metaphorically as a strip club, the tree would be that shiny, gleaming pole in which all activity is focused around. There’s an image that is sure to imbue some Christmas cheer in you, or maybe just a need to disinfect everything in sight. Whichever. Anyways, if you’re into natural trees, and not some plastic facsimile that is as hollow as corporate America’s promise to the public that they care about the spirit of the season and not just your money, the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre, and Gunnison National Forests have some good news for you. Permits to get trees will be available the 13th of November, or tomorrow depending on when you read this.
Christmas tree permits for the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests will be available to purchase online through Recreation.gov beginning Nov. 13, 2020. Details about designated cutting areas, cutting dates and types of trees that may be cut can be found here https://www.recreation.gov/
