Heart List: Christmas Trees


My favorite Christmas tradition is getting the tree. We always get our tree on the first Saturday of December, although this year I was flying solo (my husband has been working the night shift, and so he needed sleep). To me, getting the tree makes it seem like it's really Christmas time. When I was young we would bring the tree home and decorate it while listening to "John Denver and the Muppets Christmas" or "Jackson Five Christmas" or sometimes "Manheim Steamroller." Then, when it got dark, we would sit with the nothing but the tree lights on and enjoy their cheerful glow. Now I get to share that experience with the man I love! It makes me happy. Love, love, LOVE my Christmas tree!
