O.K., but now I have two questions. First, do you ever decorate the "branches"
with ornaments? (Or ever have an uncontrollable urge to)? And second, does the
pumpkin growing on the plant ever pick up any broadcast signals? (I guess that
wouldn't HURT it if it did! Well, unless it was picking up reruns of "Full
House" or anything off of the WB).
