Ever been to Home Hardware on Commercial Drive? If not, it’s a truly magical place, for no other reason than that they always have everything, whether it’s sash cord for a circa-1910 double-hung window or roofing nails by the brown-bagged pound. What they don’t have this year is normal Christmas trees. Unless, that is, your idea of normal is a Charlie Brown Xmas tree they’ve got plenty of those, and while hopelessly sad-looking, they are also kind of fitting for what’s been a year to forget.
