Writes Alex in Denver: “Last year, my roommate Luke got frustrated that our undecorated tree was still sitting in the basement on Christmas Eve. We decided to get retribution by moving the tree into his room.”
Happy Hannukah, everyone!

Is Luke quadriplegic, or can he only enjoy Christmas if somebody else does the decorating?

They don’t have a fireplace, so when Santa comes down the chimney he’ll end up in the basement.
It’s not all about you, Luke!

Using his immense power in the Force, young Luke Treehumper decorates a X-mas tree without his roommates’ help. It is not until Luke’s mission is completed that he finds out that he is, in fact, a lil Jewish. His real father’s name is Mort Veyder. Luke is heartbroken. Never will he decorate a tree again.

I feel sorry for Luke. He is desperately trying to become closer with the other guys in the house, and thinks that this little joke will make him look witty and cool. Poor Luke, he’s the guy that runs out to the living room with a Scrabble board, asking for high-fives while the “real guys” chug beer and make fun of his lisp.
Or maybe not.
Oh yeah. Eighth! High five!!

So was this a live tree or a plastic tree? If it’s a live tree, the man has a point. If it’s a fake tree, he just needs to give it up and wait until next year.

“I think it’s funny that it (sic) x-mas eve and we still haven’t put up our x-mas tree…”
I agree – hilarious, in fact. You know what else is funny? Carrot Top! Just can’t get enough of his madcap antics.

I was going to run with that one, M-A. Then I Googled. Luke was Greek (and I guess Christian, but am not enough of a theologian to really know). I guess the thing is that the gospels were written after the event, and by that time I don’t know if the writers still called themselves Jewish or Christian or other? Mark was Roman. Matthew and John were Jewish, I think… but – Troy McClure or Wade, where are you? Clarification needed.
I’m sure anyone can help. Sorry for the ignorance here.
And, happy holidays to you, to Morph ♥

Luke needs to have a long talk with his parents if he doesn’t know if he’s Jewish or not.
A peek in his own pants, while not definitive, could be a starting point.

I think “Lazy Jews” would make a good name for a band.

Jews put up Christmas trees but they do it after Christmas because that’s when they can get a really good deal.

T’was the day before Christmas and all through the unit, no decortations were up because no one felt like doing it.
Luke got frustrated and posted a note, but the roommates all laughed at the message he wrote.
So they waited ’til evening, when Luke was asleep and did horrible things to the crabby creep.
Mike peed in his earhole, John spat in his mouth
Rhonda shaved all the hair that grew way down south
Luke stirred when they raped him with a candy cane, but returned to his slumber and moaned the name Blane.
They took all his laundry, the dirty and pressed
and gave it to the hobo so he could be well-dressed.
Then they called Luke’s mother and told her this fact: Luke stole all her savings so he could buy crack.
When Luke awoke he felt like he’d died. There was poop in his slippers and a tree by his side.
His roommates had left, but a note was in view
handle Christmas yourself!
love, your flatmates–the jews.

With a New Testament name like Luke, prolly not Jewish. Just a guess.

Now that my sons are using the damn bulbs are warfare, I wish I was like you and Luke with a boxed up tree and a cleaner house.

Now, I’m wondering if Luke’s roomies put up a Festivus pole the day before. Maybe the Feats of Strength and Airing of Grievances are so similar to his everyday life that Luke didn’t even notice it was Festivus…

Posted just under this note:
We think it’s fucking hilarious that you took the time to write this note rather than to get out the damn tree. Oh, and as far as the Jewish thing? Not too tough to figure out if you consider which God’s name you were taking in vain…

They tried to put the tree together right after Thanksgiving, but they couldn’t find the central pole.
That stick was too far up Luke’s ass!

Among us, bored russian jews is jewland, it is customary to form the hanukiya (the hanuka candle-holder) from the tree, for lulz and to annoy the general public.
