Re-Using Last Year's Christmas Tree

As I'm going to visit my mother in Florida for Christmas, I decided not to buy a fresh tree for my room this time. Instead I did what I once did when I had The Cheap Art Store on Divisadero. It was that Christmas thirteen years ago when I was working on those murals for that horrible financial district restaurant, Portico. I took most of the dried flowers I had been saving the last few years and filled in the dried out skeleton of last year's tree. Merry Christmas!
