Trees

We got our Christmas tree yesterday and I had to bring it in the house almost by myself. My sweet youngest daugther tried to help but this was her first year helping and she didn't quite know how to help me. The tree was heavy but it looks pretty good right now. I picked out the tree, I strung our "famous" blue lights up the center and colored lights around the outside and my wife and daugther did the rest. It looks fabulous. There is nothing I like more than sitting in the dark, with the tree lit and the little village my wife has put together by the fireplace and just watch the tree and listen to holiday music in the background. It is so calming and peaceful. I like driving around and looking at other people's trees as well. I guess I like to compare. This may come as a shock to most of you reading this blog, but I tend to be a skosh competitive. A stunning revelation, I know. Anyway, I like to see how our trees, the one in the home teacher room and our family tree, shape up. I think our public tree always looks great. This year, with new ornaments and decoration, our family tree looks just as spectacular. Side note: I was driving around and saw a house with 5, that's right 5, Christmas trees. That was unbelievable. Anyway, I like our house now that it is decorated and I really like out trees.l
