Christmas tree

In my house we always get a real christmas tree and it always is the biggest one we can find. We always put it in our living room and because it has a high set sealing we have never had a problem fitting whatever tree we have found. We tend to get the tree two-three weeks before christmas and once christmas is over we lug it out to the side of our house. We leave it there until the tree completely dies and then we set it on fire. It makes a big fire for a few minutes then it tends to die down. once it has completely stopped we send it away never to see it again. Then we do the same thing the next year. once there was a tree that i was going to set on fire but my stupid cousin got to close and it caught his pants on fire, luckily he was near the hose and we quickly put him out. From then on when i set the tree  on fire he has to wait inside.

hopes

My hope for my country is that we become a more safe group of individuals. The shootings that have been going on in the news lately have been showing that people all over the country are killing others for some unknown reason. Killing others is a rather messed up thing to do. If you want to kill yourself because you don't love how your life has turned out well then that is fine, but you don't have to kill others in the process of killing yourself. If you started to kill other people 99.99% of the time you will not survive the shooting. I think there is some blame on how video games present killing to the people that buys the games. Seventeen years is a long time that you have to wait to be able to purchase a rated M game, but not all seventeen year old guys are ready for it. A lot of them find pleasure when killing others and the next step after killing people in a game is to kill people in real life. Media portrays violence as something that its not, killing others is a lot worse than movies make it out to be. In the real world the main character doesn't have the ability to take a large number of shoots to themselves without  a fatal outcome. In most cases they would end up in morgue.
