Al, The The Aluminum Tree....
A Christmas story from me to you.....

It was a cold blustery night.  The wind was howling and the snow was blowing.  But through it all the proud little aluminum tree stood tall and strong.  All the real trees where bending in the wind........

OK,OK, so they weren't bending in the wind, they were dancing and twinkling, and showing off and taunting the poor little aluminum tree because they had lights and he didn't.........

And we mustn't forget Frosty.... He was tipping his hat and waving it franticly as he snickered to himself muttering, "we have snow here, hehe,  we have snow here".......

Oh,Oh and Rudolph.......well, what can be said about a reindeer with
no more self respect than to decorate himself.......and that breath.........well!!

"Oh my," said Al to himself, "is this what Christmas is all about? Is this what I was born for?  All this rejection caused by prejudice because I am a different color than the other trees.... 

Al started sobbing,...... "I must stop," he said,"or surely I will rust!"

"That Frosty is so prideful, boasting about the better living conditions he has than I do...and then there is Rudolph, well he is bound by alcoholism to act that way..my goodness, is this what Christmas is really about?" he thought glumly.

When then...LOOK, up in the sky... "my, what is that?" Al wondered.  When suddenly there appeared a jolly old fat man with a musty old red suit, speeding along in a bright green car?.....

"HoHoHo.. Al," he said smiling at me,"come with me and I will tell you the real meaning of Christmas......
