It was freezing cold and windy the night we went out to buy
our tree. The trees were all tied up tightly with string and piled up against a
wall.
I decided the only thing that really mattered was a straight
branch at the top for our angel. She has been with us since our very first tree
when we got married and we just love having her appear each year and share the
holiday with us.
So I looked at all the trees, found one with the perfect
top, and said “that’s the one”! The tree guy started to cut it loose in order
for us to check out the shape. I told him not to bother. Just put it up on top
of the car all wrapped up. We want to be surprised.
It was way too cold to be agonizing over tree shapes, and I
figured if one side wasn’t great, I’d just face it against the wall.
Look how pretty it turned out to be!!
In a previous post I talked about how looking at all the
trees and choosing the perfect one was part of the fun of buying a real tree. I
was wrong. On this cold night our 10 minute quick decision time was just right.
Merry Christmas!!
