The Untold Story Behind The Christmas Tree

Christmas Tree are a must during ....well......Christmas. (duh)

Especially when it comes to malls and huge shopping complexes, or theme parks.

People love gathering around a well decorated Christmas tree for photo shots.

Well, there was this mall which decided to make it different. They brought in a 1000 pound 100 feet Christmas tree.

2 groups of people are put in charged of making it happen
- one is responsible for decorating it with bells and whistles
- the other is responsible for making it stable so it doesn't collapse and is safe for people to stick around.

Well, I'm lazy to type. You know most of the drill. Along the process , debates on whether to emphasize more on the decorative or to put more budget and resource on safety is a never ending process.

To cut the story short, here is how it goes.....

If the tree stays put for the rest of Christmas,  no customer or even anyone is going to even notice the existence of the group that puts in effort to make the Christmas tree safe.

But If the tree falls, they are the ones that will get all the heat first.

Well, as for the group of people that focus on adding bells and whistles?

Regardless of whether the tree falls or not, they will be the first to get all the credits during the first day of Christmas when all the people pill over and stick around the Christmas tree.

What if the tree falls on the next day? Well, these folks have already claimed their credits, and are already on their way planning on decorating their next Christmas tree for the next year.

That is the hard truthful fact of life.
