You know the holidays are just around the corner when it takes two arms to carry in the mail. While I can hear the trees screaming every time I open my mailbox, I actually like looking at the catalogs. Not because I’m into acquisition but because I want to see what kind of crap people are willing to shell out good money for.

Hence, crap-a-logs.

Today’s big find is a 5-foot artificial pink Christmas Tree.

(By the way, the only thing more redundant than “artificial pink Christmas Tree” is “free kittens.”)

They also offer you an “alternate view”.  Thank goodness.

“Don’t let the whimsical hue fool you,” reads the descriptive copy.

“Fool you”? 

Fool you into what?
Fool you into thinking this was a good idea?
Or fool you into thinking that this abomination (pre-strung with 350 pink lights) is worth, get this, $129?

A companion Fantasy Ornament Collection features hearts, glitter balls, butterflies, chandeliers, and “shoe pairs.”
Let’s just say, if Tammy Faye Baker were to come back as a tree, she’d be yours for $129.
