Who’s taller, you or that tree?
I’m six-five. The tree, probably eight feet.

What are you doing with it?
Just walking the street, spreading holiday cheer.

Where’d you get it?
Up near Whole Foods, from these Frenchmen who asked me to keep their names a secret. It’s kind of mysterious. I guess they don’t want to sell many trees.

Was it an impulse buy?
I’m always in the market for a tree. I’m a sucker for the holidays. As I’m walking people are like, “Happy birthday, Jesus!” I guess it’s the long hair.
