Last night the Christmas tree appeared.
Living in a new home, our first question was where to place the tree. Our picture window views the fenced backyard. Right in the middle of the three panes, and out a few feet from the wall, was a good position.
We haven’t had to worry about fake or real lately. I carried a box from the basement storage and Jill, my wife, began the process of unpacking and assembling the tree. After a few hundred lights were placed and tree ornaments affixed, the tree looks good.
We fired up the string of lights, stood and admired! We are ready for the holiday – and we still call it Christmas!
