10am, in bed.
Billy: I had a dream I was sleeping on sandpaper.
Shalay: Really?
Billy: Yeah. Then I woke up and realized it was just your legs.
2:00pm, driving in the car. We pull up to a stoplight next to a bus with an advertisement for the new Alvin & the Chipmunks movie plastered on its side.
Billy: Those chipmunks are really creepy looking. They almost look evil.
Shalay: Hmmm...
Billy: Good thing I've never seen one in real life.
Shalay: I wouldn't even know if I did see a chipmunk. They look just like squirrels. Would you even be able to tell the difference between a chipmunk and a squirrel?
Billy: Of course I would. Chipmunks wear clothes and walk on two legs.
8:00pm. At home, with our new Christmas tree.
Shalay: I love having a Christmas tree! But it always makes me so sad every year when we have to throw it out. I wish we didn't have to.
Billy: Well, we gotta do it if you want to have a real tree every year.
Shalay: You know what I've always wanted to do? And hopefully we can do it someday... When we have a house that we plan on living in for a long time, I want to re-plant our Christmas tree in the backyard after Christmas. Then we could use it again the next year, and the year after that. It could be our family Christmas tree.
Billy: Um, you can't re-plant a Christmas tree. It's already dead.
Shalay: No, I'm pretty sure you can.
Billy: No you can't. The stem is already cut. There are no roots. You can't just put an old Christmas tree into some dirt and expect it to keep living and growing.
Shalay: But I think someone told me, or maybe I read somewhere, that you can re-plant Christmas trees...
Billy: You can not re-plant them! Trust me! I can't believe you have seriously thought this.
Shalay: Oh man. That sucks. I thought we'd be able to pass our family Christmas tree onto our children someday. And then maybe to our grandchildren. Now I guess we can't.
Billy: I guess not.

LOL!!!!!!! Oh my gosh. Shalay you make me laugh. You two are so funny. And MADE for each other!
Haha, I love these convos. I'll keep my eyes open for the chipmunks!
hahaha!
ok but on a serious note, I swear my old neighbors had a tree in their front yard that use to be their x-mas tree, I swear!
thats too funny...
You can buy Xmas trees that still have their roots. Check around, but the bottoms will be wrapped in burlap and you can rePlant after Christmas. But the tree will keep getting bigger so prob can't use again inside....
^What Kylie said.

My parents bought a Pine Tree for my first Christmas and planted it in the back yard. Its still there and almost as tall as me now. I always got to tease my brother that it was MY Christmas tree.
Someday you could do what my parents did.

Oh, this made my day. Thank you. I wish I could be a fly on the wall in your house, just to witness more of these amazing conversations!
