The sound of trees begging not to be cut down, their lives cut short and wasted for the sake of one month's celebrations. (I felt guilt for a week before and after cutting this tree down....I'm a tree hugger at heart. I'm sorry, little tree. I'M SORRY!)

--Michael Scott

"I am not going to judge Phyllis for desecrating Christmas. There is one person who will, though, and Phyllis just stuffed him into a drawer."
