A Christmas (tree) mystery

la_rainetteWe don't know what happened to our Christmas tree. We set it out on Sunday evening because IT WAS TIME FOR IT TO GO (yes, I know, I know). The Christmas trees were supposed to be collected on Thursday with the regular garbage.
But then when we came home on Wednesday evening, the tree was gone. I didn't think too much of it -- maybe they had just collected the trees early? Obviously we had been smart to drag our tree outside on Sunday, since our neighbours' trees were all still waiting to be collected.
Nothing much happened on Thursday morning or evening, other than a sad forgetting of ALL THE TREES IN THE STREET (they were still there, sadly waiting on the curbside, when I left for work today).
But then this morning, when I opened the door, I saw that the tree was back on our doorstep! WTF.
The girls say it's NOT OUR TREE OMG, this one is way too small. I am not so sure, because it does looks big enough to fill up our entire dining room (we had to move out the table and chairs to make room for The Tree).
Husband came home in the middle of the night (he'd been away on a business trip in GRAND RAPIDS by way of Chicago) and said that the tree was back in front of our door by then. He is not quite so sure what to believe (he hasn't ruled out a collective family hallucination, or possibly a Really Bad Joke).
And I just wonder where the HELL the bloody tree spent the past two days.

Hey, MAYBE IT GOT ABDUCTED BY ALIENS! (sorry, I am really really tired, hance the silly.)
(Also: you still have an email from me in your inbox, right? Maybe I should poke because it's been awhile, I think it may have slipped through the cracks...)
