He's at it again! (Rolls eyes.)
Christmas treecame down minus yet another foot. It's been hobbling on 3 for years. Instead of going to the nearest B&Q and just getting a new tree, him indoors has decided to make replacements. (Sigh.)
The tree is knackered anyway, but oh no, Scrooge reckons he can 'make' a foot and coax another 10 years out of it. It's probably just a ruse to get out of wrapping presents...
