It’s a Chris Pine
Christmas is a special time of year where we all get together, spread peace and love, and decorate to show off our holiday spirit.
My classroom took the last one to a new and weird level.
I have a little 4 foot, white, light-up Christmas tree from when I was younger (and it still miraculously works) and was asked to bring it in by my students so they could decorate it.
Seems innocent enough, right? Wrong.
At some point it became an unspoken thing for them to fill the tree up will the strangest items they could find.
Here’s a list of what became an “ornament”:
An empty bottle
An empty chip bag
Balled up pieces of tape
A white balloon that had once been inflated but then deflated to the point of looking like a used condom
Pens
Another balloon that was drawn on to look like the Lego Joker (it was nice until it deflated, then it got sad)
Several naked Barbie dolls
And a picture of Chris Pine in an attempt to recreate the “Chris Pine Tree” vine
To make it even more “festive” they made some (too many) paper snowflakes and hung them from the ceiling.
That one corner of my classroom looked like a demented, arts and crafts gone wrong, Winter Wonder Land Fill. One of the administrators took a single look at it and quickly walked the other way.
But hey, it was fun watching them get so excited over it. My only regret is not having gotten pictures of it to share.
