Everyone talking about Christmas trees but that's obviously where you put the cheap-ass "Venus de Milo" replica to go with your Mac mansion.

No no, it's the Scottish version.

Make Justin Long stand in the Mac Mansion while John Hodgeman stands outside the Public Community housing.

Ya know, that was what I had in my head too, but I couldn't describe it properly like you did.

I don’t live in a huge house but if I had to go back to a tiny apartment with nowhere to put stuff I would just end it. Fucking terrible way to live.

Many would say that all of Manhattan is wasted space and the most of America is wide open so why not use it?

Half the US lives in cities. It's not an inaccurate assumption. They'd be wrong, still.

This is true, but on the flip side, 99% of American cities aren't Manhattan.

Not for everyone driving up the cost of rent in Manhattan, apparently.

Pretty much the perfect spot for any and all holiday decorations

I've stolen it. I'm sure I'll find a use for it somewhere

I know with 100% certainty a cat would jump from the second story and knock a cat tree right the hell over

I have a 9 foot cat tower that is tensioned into place against the ceiling. My 14 pound cat flies on and off it like the floor is lava, and it hasn't budged yet

With tall cat trees; if it's not in a corner you've gotta anchor it down. Some even come with brackets to screw them to the wall.

that was literally made for a big family that likes taking pictures around the christmas tree like in the movies

Call a plumber. Install a toilet or, if there's space, a claw-footed tub with the whole over-head bath curtain around it. Embrace the awkward

Shouldn't have been raised above the rest of the floor. Now you've got to use a relatively skinny tree and you can't put a train or tree skirt around it.

Put the tree relatively far forward, cover the step with a nice skirt, then put your train along the front edge of the step with smaller presents below it and larger ones behind it.

The step makes the tree and the pile of stuff under look bigger than they are and makes a nice raised platform for the train to run along.

Okay, I did the math (or rather, found an online calculator to do the math for me) and, assuming a tread depth of 10" and therefore a platform radius of 60", you could fit a 48" diameter train track on it. Not great, not terrible for O-scale, but barely big enough for the most cramped G-scale circle (which might've otherwise been preferred to stay in proportion with a tall tree in the high-ceilinged room).

I want to start with “I’m not rich”

One of the luxuries I afford myself is more than one Christmas tree.

They smell great.

My gremlin ass cats LOVE THEM.

And blinken lights.

I recommend you too splurge if you can.

I’d have a tree here for display and (it’s only) smellz.
