Charlie Brown Flashbacks.
Lexa decided we had to have it when she saw it on display at Target. Well, she actually saw the full sized version at McDonald's and was enthralled. When she saw this pocket size, she insisted that we buy it. So this year, we have a very small, fake Christmas tree.
It even came with a nifty tag stuck to it. It has unfortunately been lost, but it said something like "The plastic used in this tree contains lead. Please wash hands after touching."
And the other tag on it? "Made in China". I guess since it's not a child's toy or food product, it is still legal for them to ship poisonous junk to us. I really must do my best to avoid made in China products. It's hard, though. This country has consumerized its way into not producing a damn thing for itself any longer. Just wait - it's going to seriously bite us in the ass. And how will we respond? By buying everything made in Mexico, of course!
And people wonder why I feel the need to spin and knit my own yarn. Sheesh.
