Christmas
Tree Turmoil for Ashlee and Jessica Simpson 12/24/07
Pop siblings Ashlee and Jessica Simpson never get to put gifts under a
real Christmas
tree - because their parents refuse to have one in the family home.
The sisters' mother has always been a big fan of Christmas, but she
gave up on buying a real tree after a festive disaster when the girls were
young.
Jessica recalls, "She put 5,000 lights on a real tree - the first
time we'd ever had one. And she's yelling at my dad to help, and he's
reading a book.
"We hear this scream, and my poor mum has fallen off her ladder
into the tree, and all you could see were her little feet sticking out the
bottom... We have never again had a real tree."
