see the forest for the trees

To see the forest for the trees suggests that a person is capable of discerning the bigger picture, from observing the more granular details. Conversely, when used in the negative form, this suggests that someone is easily preoccupied by the details, thus allowing them to obscure the bigger picture.

She has a strong ability to grasp the big picture, always able to "see the forest for the trees".

tree trimming party

A civilized and fancy cocktail party held somewhere around christmas time, where you only invite your favorite friends. Guests are expected to bring a tree ornament to hang on your christmas tree. If a guest was fortunate enough to have been invited last year, he or she is only expected to hang their existing ornament.
Tree trimming party hosts are rumoured to provide their guests with fine wines and spirits, delicious food and lavish special treats with gold trimmings.

"- Hey Peter, do you remember hanging your ornament at Nick and Sarah's tree trimming party last year?
- Yeah! I brought them a gay pride flag ornament! And then Nick showered me with lavish special treats with gold trimmings!
- Wow! Awesome! Can't wait for this year's!
- Are you sure you're invited?"

"- Hey, are you going to Nick and Sarah's christmas party?
- Dude, it's a tree trimming party."

tree felling fart

A type of fart that when emitted, sounds like the distant creaking of a tree after it has been carefully cut and is in the process of slowly falling.

I was in the kitchen as I heard what I thought was a tree falling outdoors but then I realized it was a tree felling fart and it was coming from my husband who was standing right beside me!
