The Way We Live Now…

Christmas relationships, courtesy of DCist:

A Christmas tree lot on Wisconsin Avenue at about 9 p.m.: A busy, attractive, professional, unmarried couple in their early 30s who are clearly still in their work clothes. Guy to tree-seller: “We’ll take this wreath.” Tree-seller to couple: “Don’t you want a Christmas tree?” Couple awkwardly look at each other. Girl: “We can’t commit to that right now.”
