I’ll tell you what that pine cone Christmas tree needs: A tiny Christmas tree ornament hanging from it. Christmas trees all the way down. How could you not want a recursive holiday ornament?
I’m happy to report that it seems neither Greg nor I will resort to giving any of these gifts this year. I may, however, use that third one in place of gift wrap. Times are tough, yo.
I feel obligated to direct you to O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi"…
