The Christmas Tree Guy

By: Patrick Stokes

In Poughkeepsie, there is a christmas tree stand in the parking lot across from the poughkeepsie plaza on south road (route 9). There is a guy who is actually temporarilly living there in a small R.V. Camper. He works the wrapping machine and sells the trees to people there. There is a sign that tells you the different sizes and prices. The colors are yellow, purple, green, red, and blue. And there is also the extra large size. Everything is ok except the christmas tree guy is kind of creepy. He likes to make strange conversations about things that happened to him a long time ago and at different christmas tree stands. But still my family got a christmas tree and went home.
