Christmas tree trunk split - and of course toppled at midnight

Me, Paul: Man, I’m sorry that you all are dealing with this, epically losing irreplaceable keepsakes from the kids. I hope it works out - which I know it will and everything will be OK.

My cousin, Raul: Um, duck tape that sob and make some Christmas love to your wife.

i honestly thought of running to HD or Lowes to find some large hose clamps ( the kind you tighten with screw ) - 4 or 5 to reinforce the trunk, but i still dont think that will be enough- its a 10ft tree and i just think the split too far up the trunk to really do much of anything at this point.

im stopping at the lot on way home for lunch so we will see what happens. No expectations at this point.
