Tree Hugger's Delight Mugs

You pines should get rid of the needles --- those things are ridiculous! You're still wearing all green --- nobody with any style wears all green in autumn! My colors are their peak! People come from miles around to see me! My limbs are bare, but it the spring I'll get a new wardrobe, and you'll be wearing the same old thin! That guy "leaves" but he never goes away!
