Before...

Before some guests arrive. Traditionally they will not leave early. Better blip before they come. Christmas tree is decorated. Never before so early. Never before had a plastic tree either. Feels not real. Looks very real.  Needs no water, does not lose its needles, tree has 12 years warranty,  easy plug in lights with 2 years warranty. Easy to store. Will be an economically positive investment in four years time or before if the cost of a real tree is increasing. Better go to the kitchen to help Mrs B prepare the meal...before she calls.
