Now to round off the first round, **CK Dexter Haven** steps up to bat - will he blow the squid out of the water with this statement? **Never have I ever had a Christmas tree.** And I finish round 1 with all greens… this time as a **squiddly green christmas tree ornament.** ---

Do we need to re-submit answers for Clothahump’s statement? It looks like he meant illegal drugs, which I have never taken. ??? ---

I’ve never smoked cigarettes. Never saw the appeal in them, and I can’t stand being around other folks smoking. I’ve been part of a household that had a Christmas tree, but I’ve never had one myself. Since I always go back to visit the family, there’s no reason for me to have my own. ---

**I’ve always had a Christmas tree, though some years it didn’t quite happen** There was the Year of the Christmas Hedge, when we couldn’t get the darn fake tree to fit in the holder, and we ended up just leaning the branches against the wall. And the past few years I’ve dragged the 3 ft tree out three days before Christmas, threw an ornament and a stuffed moose at it, and then took it down a few days later. Oh crap…it’s still over there in the corner… ---

We’re almost done with round 1 now! And it’s actually pretty darn even, apart from \*\*Cronos \*\*who so far hasn’t done much. But here’s the squidsheet, all nice and colorfur - presented to you in [squidcolors](http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pdvHjMZSDCGFCQODnHv-1MQ). The first statement of round 2 will be up in a few hours, I just wanna give Clothahump a chance to catch up with us first. Send in your statements people 🙂 And this round! Each and every yes will cost you 2 points! You can however have negative points up untill it’s your turn. You savvy? ---

Since I always go back to visit the family, there’s no reason for me to have my own. I guess I should have been more explicit (I’ll know for next time) that neither I, nor my parents, nor my immediate family, have every had a Christmas tree. ---

If we’re going with **Chronos** ’ interpretation, I have never had a Christmas tree. I have had one under **CKDH** ’s actual intent, though.
