Haag: Checking the bulbs at the checkout

... of Christmas, my University gave to me... a Christmas tree at the Huddle Mart. Located in the LaFortune Center, this Christmas tree, done in green and red bulbs, with no wrapped gifts underneath, not even flex points, brought Christmas cheer to all who made an overpriced purchased at the market. But with THREE more days of Christmas, will this Christmas tree be the tree that embodies Christmas? We'll just have to see.  Merry Christmas!
