Missed the Tree Burning


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.
