Well this year, we missed a major event at the Thatcher home. The tree burning! The truth is, that it is probably better that we missed it. I am not sure what message that it is sending to my 3 boys. Grown men dancing around a pile of dead trees, pouring gasoline all over them, and then topping it with the dead evergreen tree, then setting a blaze. Not exactly the smartest family tradition. But then again they are my in-laws and I can't do much about it. The Thatchers just think they are so creative, but what they don't know is that Red Necks have been doing this for the last 100 years.
