Default how do you get the christmas tree home?

seeing as my family only drives bmws, and we dont have an x5/x3, we decided to use my car this year, we usually use one of the 7s and just leave the trunk open

so how do you guys get your home?

and heres a pic of my car with a tree stuffed in it:

someone did that with my Subaru, there were pine needles and branches all over the back, stupid thing is it's a station wagon with a roof rack

I see you at least had the smarts to put something under it, this thread reminds me, we need to pull the garbage bag off our tree and bring it up from the basement

instead of taking the 04 durango and having to vacuum it, i'll probably take the ti and just strap the tree to the top. it will be gettig a full repaint in about a month or so anyway. need to get a tree soon.

OK, not Christmas tree, it's a pagan (or druidic) demonstrative icon of the power of rebirth at the Soltice of Winter (that's been co-opted by the commercial heirarchy to promote godless capitalism)...

Happy?

I used to send out holiday cards that said either "Merry Pagan Ritual" or "Mary Xmas", depending on my mood...
