The “Redneck” Christmas Tree

The following images came to me in an email from a blog reader. It was titled “Redneck Christmas Tree”. It came complete with how-to instructions and a final snapshot.

The other day I wrote how fun it would be to build the Grolsch bottle Christmas tree and how getting there would be all the fun. Here is an affordable (cheap ass) way to do something similar.

With this method one would use cans instead of bottles. In this example I assume that the originator used Mountain Dew cans because they are (cheap, Redneckie) green with red and white accents. Me? I would go with Heineken cans because they are green with red and white accents and Heineken tastes better for breakfast on fishing trips. While emptying cans of Heineken would rot my liver, emptying cans of Mountain dew will rot my teeth. Pick yer poison. Like Steve H. says,"Eat (or drink) What You Want And Die Like A Man".

The following images speak for themselves. I respect the ingenuity of the creator and the results are better than one would expect. My critique on all Christmas tree posts will come when the holidays are nothing more than a forgettable hangover.

Merry Christmas, y’all!

As a Mt.Dew addict I can say:
This is like Mecca. I will face your blog three times a day and give thanks to the sugar/caffeine gods.

Got a great Cajun Redneck friend that always has a Dew in one hand and a cell phone in the other. She could make a great Dew Xmas tree lol
