Charlie Brown's Pathetic Christmas Tree

Now here's a Christmas tree I can relate to: a 21" exact replica of Charlie Brown's pathetic tree before it was magically turned into something completely different by some energetic arm-waving.

It's yours for $24. Good grief. But I like it. And no, the psychiatrist is not in.

  • The Peanuts specials are still all around favorites in our house. This tree is awesome.

  • i'd pay $50 for it.

    Hey, I saw that thing 2 days ago, doesn't it come with Linus's blanket too? Teh box had something blue and fuzzy in it. Matsayz is right, it's an expensive rip-off, but the Peanuts still rock!

    The tree IS awesome, but I saw the thing yesterday - didn't it come with Linus's blue blanket too?, it's just not complete without the blanket.

    UO has interesting stuff, but the place is way to metrosexual/hipster hell to stand in for more then 10 minutes...

  • I love it, I remember watching christmas cartoons on TV when I was a kid, and yes I admit I used to laugh at charlie browns tree....but now it seems like something I actually want....it's a peice of my childhood

    Sorry for the double post...bad wireless hotspot..thought I lost it

  • "I never get want I want for christams. All I ever get is the latest ipods, comptuer backups, and latest video game consoles. What I want is real eastate"

  • Me too I never get what I want for "christams." Seriously though, Charlie Brown hanging that ball on that pathetic tree is one of the most singularly depressing scenes in all of Christmas Special-dom.

  • Aw Fuuuuuuudge! I did not use spell checker! :(

  • I just got mine delivered the other day, It really doesnt look as good in real life as in the UO pics.

  • I tried to pick up one of these trees last week and they didn't have any. I could probably build one for 5 bucks but this one folds up and no mess. Worth $25? Probably not but still a great idea.

    Maybe all it needs is a little love...

  • I love all the comments stating the $25 is too much. Can someone tell me something Christmas related that isn't a total waste of money? We received this as gift last year and it will be the only thing we put up to celebrate the fourth quarter shopping holiday FKA Christmas.

  • Obviously whoever's hawking this failed to grasp the message of the Charlie Brown special...

    "Look, Charlie, let's face it. We all know that Christmas is a big commercial racket. It's run by a big eastern syndicate, you know."

  • One other thing: Couldn't Urban Outfitters at least photoshop out the reflection of the photographer in the red ball? And he's hand holding the freakin' camera too...

  • I bought the tree. I love it.

    Fun Christmas fact: People generally start to talk about and celebrate Christmas as soon as Halloween is done. This means that 2/12 months is consumed by Christmas. Now, I'm no math major, but if you convert that figure into days, and don't forget to carry the 1, it follows that 1/6 days of your entire life are related to Christmas...
