My daughter calls that the "hefty trash bag".
The tree died in march, so it's just a bunch of dead limbs (many of which will break off it you stare at them).
It made it difficult to decorate, and I gave up after only 3000 lights (last year it had more than 4000 lights, and they were in a horizontal pattern (that's in the 2005 folder at the picture site).
After christmas the carcass is being removed. I've got to make some new tree purchases this year.
I've taken my own very similar shots, from back in the day - must be tucked in some shoebox somewhere. I added a new one at the zoo recently by posing myself in from of an Aboriginal painting so it looked like I had a 4ft afro.
The little lady had some sour-puss look on her face when she took my pic. That made my smile even bigger - her pretending to be unamused and all.
