MY LANDLORD STOLE MY BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS TREE — HE REGRETTED IT.
Christmas is everything for me and my boys, Ethan and Jake. I saved up for months to buy the perfect tree this year, and seeing their excitement made it all worth it. But that joy didn't last long.
On Christmas Eve, our landlord, Mr. Bryant, showed up ""reminding"" me about rent, even though it wasn't late. As he stood in the yard, his eyes locked on our tree.
""That tree has to go,"" he barked. ""It's a fire hazard.""
""What? It's perfectly safe,"" I protested.
""The truck will pick it up in an hour,"" he snapped, not giving me a chance to argue further.
And just like that, he had our Christmas tree hauled away. My kids cried themselves to sleep that night, heartbroken. I felt powerless… until the next morning.
While driving past Mr. Bryant's house, I nearly slammed on the brakes. There, in his yard, was MY TREE, complete with my kids' handmade ornaments. He'd added a tacky golden star and a sign that read, ""Merry Christmas from the Bryants!""
I saw red. He'd stolen our Christmas joy, so I decided to RETURN THE FAVOR and make his holiday ""unforgettable."" I grabbed duct tape and got to work. ⬇️
