Make a fake Christmas tree that has branches that all fold up, and are spring-loaded like one of those nice umbrellas, so all you have to do is push a button, the branched snap down into place, and your tree is set up in a second.

Not spring-loaded, but this sad little nod toward Christmas spirit is almost as easy to erect and later collapse for storage. [jurist, Dec 20 2005]

[+] Although you'd have to supply a pole with which to press the button, so you don't get attacked by the tree. |

"over-egg the pudding"? What does that mean? |

too many eggs make the pudding kinda over eggy! |

But, isn't it bad luck to open an umbrella indoors? That's what my mother always told me! |

People got the idea that opening an umbrella indoors is bad luck as they thought someone's eye might be poked out in the process of opening it up. |

This could be great. I'd get a mate to help put it up. That way he could hit the button at the same time as I hurled a load of tinsel over it: Shazam, randomly decorated tree in <a second. Fantastic. + |
