What's In A Name?

I ran down to the WalMart in Mesa to gather a bunch of Christmas goodies.  One thing I wanted to find was a small artificial tree.  We've got one for the Church Street house, but I wanted to get one for the Hill Street house too, so it wouldn't feel left out.  (Listen:  you have to keep those spirits happy.  When we returned home, after only having been gone for a week, Somebody-Spirit-Wise had been smoking and moping in the Hill Street house.  I guess THEY thought a week was too long to be alone!)  Anyway, in hopes of keeping the Spirit-Presence happy, I went tree shopping at Wal-Mart.  But I didn't want to spend Big Bucks on a second tree, so I thought Wal-Mart should be able to help me.

Well, in their artificial tree selections (all made in China, of course, where any self respecting artificial tree is made!), I found a six foot imitation fir.  The brand of this tree?  (I kid you not!)  "This Will Do!"  Now, isn't that an apt name for a sensibly priced six foot Christmas tree to be sold in the dark days of this recession?  For twenty bucks, no less.  Yessir, I'll take that one... the "This Will Do!" tree.  It's cheap, it's big enough and I'll still have money leftover to buy the kids some toys.  Definitely, "This Will Do!" tree for me.

So now, that got me to thinking.  Maybe next year, if they want to market it one step farther, they will be selling a tree (artificial of course, so it can be used year after year), this one all lit up with colored bulbs and darn it, let's include all the ornaments too and of course the tree stand and we'll call it (ummmmm....) the "Git 'er Done Tree!"
