One of my favorite Christmas gifts is the natural, cut tree we purchase for our family. Re-arranging the living room, choosing the tree, bringing it home, and decorating it with a color theme are all "Events" in our celebration of Christmas.As is my custom, on December 1st, Bob and I went to Helena Landscape Supply to choose our tree. I like to purchase my Christmas tree from a local business and their trees are nicely displayed, kept in water, have an excellent price, and the customer service is always wonderful.
We don't own a truck, so the tree traveled home, delicately balanced, in my trunk. My dedicated husband helped me balance the tree in the stand and proudly carried into our house. The fragrance of the frasier fir filled the room and drifted throughout our home.And there the tree sits, for almost two weeks now, without a single light or decoration. It has been a busy holiday season for me so far and I just haven't been able to set aside the time it takes to wrap a thousand lights around its branches and then fill them with ornaments.
Perhaps today? Maybe tomorrow?
