Redneck Christmas Tree

Christmas in Redneck Country
(With apologies to Clement Clark Moore)
Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the house,
Billy Bob and Mary Sue were in a quandry:
"We're as poor as a mouse.
"How can we deck all the halls with good cheer?
We've got twenty-five dollars and a tree
We chopped down, and we're here
In the middle of redneck country."
So they piled in the pickup, three kids in the back.
To the hardware store they drove;
It was the only place open on Christmas eve night.
So what happens to our redneck couple Billy Bob and Mary Sue and their three younguns? They arrive at the hardware store with $25.00 in hand. The saga continues ...
Start with Natural Garland
A Touch of Red
A Little Sparkle
Touch of Snow White
A Project for the Kids
Finishing Touches
A Happy Ending
The clerk at the hardware store added up their purchases - $23.75! As they surveyed their purchases, they realized that their Christmas tree would be as beautiful as any from the big department stores. Billy Bob, Mary Sue and little ones gathered their treasures and headed back to their home in the country. They sprang to the truck and packed in the kids,
And away they all drove, mud flaps flailing behind.
But I heard them exclaim as they headed back home,
"Merry Christmas to all from your rich redneck friends!"
Footnote
This page is the result of the lens prompt from Kimberly Dawn Wells: "$25 to spend at the hardware store." I immediately thought about integrating a Christmas theme, and my daughter and I quickly thought of the Redneck Christmas Tree. Since I grew up in the country, I'm allowed to tell redneck stories. So what do you think?

- I just thought about my cousin. Her name is Sue and her husband's name is Bob. They are always sending me redneck jokes.
Nice job!
