In this times of economic recession, some people have opted to share the expense of a Christmas tree with their upstairs neighbors.
They might just want to share their tree with their midget neighbors!
You have to know something is not right about this household because they have the Starship Enterprise hanging on their tree. I thought that they would be hovering around Uranus looking for Klingons, but maybe the tree needs patrolling too.
“Honey”? This is obviously an office tree. Look at the clues…no happy family would put up a pre-lit tree.
The only reason my family can stay happy while putting up the tree is that it IS pre-lit.
Same here. The kids don’t get tangled in the the strings of lights or pulling on them as you’re trying to unknot the wires.
That’s the kinda office I wanna work. It’s got a pretty kickass USS Enterprise ornament on there.
Well that was nice of them to give their crazy aunt in the attic a little taste of Christmas this year.
I see a USS Enterprise, a Millenium Falcon, and a Tinkerbell on that tree… I’m guessing either somebody didn’t measure how low the dropped ceiling went in that room, or the tree is leftover from when they lived somewhere without a dropped ceiling. Our family tree is pre-lit, as well.
My 1st thought was a Blitz, a Midget and a pack of Condoms!
My father always had to cut off the last bit of the tree. He then glued the last bit back on the tree so it looked properly.
Clearly a geeky engineer strikes again. See the starship Enterprise ornament?
Thar’s not so dumb. What if he had cut out the floor?
What puzzles me is: with 8′ ceiling, and 8′ paneling, why does the paneling extend into the attic?
It’s probably in the basement from the look of the concrete wall above the paneling. They often do suspended ceilings there–and the ceilings aren’t 8 ft. high.
Oh, shades of my sainted father! Whoever this is, they are big on movies. Let’s see, there’s Star Wars, Peter Pan, Snow White, the “Fragile” box from Christmas Story…
You see? the ozone hole is rezching us.
They then went upstairs and put an equal-opportunity pothle blocker over the star on top to make sure their neighbors didn’t fall through.
Nah, I did that with a wall-length worth of modular 10′ high bookshelves. Beats cutting up 7 or 8 uprights and losing precious shelf space that way.
It’s clearly a panel tree.
I see they installed a coin operated Christmas Tree. Good way for an office to make money in today’s economy. Want Christmas cheer? That’ll be 50 cents.
I’ll bet the angel is pissed. With a prefab tree what would’ve been so hard to leave off some of the bottom or otherwise shorten the tree to fit? Removing a ceiling tile is a pretty lazy kludge… Bah fail Humbug.
Sounds dirty.
Warning: do NOT add Miracle Grow to the tree’s water.
Ha ha… lol… just thinking if the tree was really big enough… oopz
Aww, so the mice in the ceiling get their own little tree too! How cute! What caring homeowners!
Watch out when you tell him to trim “down there”!!!
I’m digging the Enterprise-D near the top. I want one of those too, for my christmas tree =D
Would somebody please unhook the angel?
My wife and I put up our first Christmas tree this year. It’s full of nothing but Star Trek and Star Wars ornaments, with my old Epyon Gundam model kit tied to the top. It’s full of win.
Wow, this tree is pretty intimidating. let’s just hope to God it doesn’t realize that its brethren have been chopped into strips and plastered on the wall behind it.
Let’s just hope it hasn’t seen “Treevenge” yet…

Enterprise, you are are a starship. You do not belong in a tree. Get down from there.
To boldly go where no tree has gone before…
If they watched MacGuyver instead of StarTrek they’d be able to come up with a better fix, most likely involving 3 rubber bands, 1/4 roll of duct tape, and *extreme awesomeness*.
Gotta love those PacMan arcade ornaments.
Reminds me of a episode of Ranma 1/2, it was a OAV release.
Knowing how Ranma hates Akane’s cooking, so he gets her to re-decorate instead.
Ranma: “You can’t trim the food without cooking the tree, right Akane?”
Dad that tree won’t even fit in our yard. It’s not going in our yard Russ, it’s going in our living room.
ROFL…”You might be redneck if….” or maybe they are just clearing the way for an Enterprise takeoff?
I don’t think anyone’s pointed out the truth of this picture. The tree actually fits perfectly without the ceiling piece missing. Ceiling cat just wanted a tree of his own this year.
