Koohii stories:

1) [ergerg] 26-10-2006(227): If you just grow your christmas tree in a well, there will be no need to till the soil.

2) [stehr] 17-11-2007(78): A man was tilling a new plot to plant xmas trees but his tractor hit an old covered-up well and fell halfway in, he's asking for a new tractor for xmas..

3) [radical_tyro] 19-12-2007(51): Note: till in the sense of plow or cultivate, not until. (story: ergerg).

4) [mcfate] 21-12-2007(31): Plant a Christmas tree to mark the location of the well, so that those who are tilling the soil won't fall in.

5) [Zarxrax] 7-7-2008(15): I kept drawing a complete blank every time this Kanji would come up, so I started thinking of the phrase "don't open till Xmas" that you often see on Christmas presents in cartoons and things. This brought the image of the Christmas tree to my mind, and from there I could use one of the other stories.
