Sweet smelling live potted holiday tree Shimmers in a drape of twinkling lights Gaily wrapped gifts from shopping spree Sure to capture a heart’s delights Scattered ‘neath boughs, with vows of thee Oh, the wonders that make this holiday An eternally celestial giving memory! |

HELLO...HELLO...so good to read your words again...I always feel like I am being embraced in the beauty of the forest when I read your work and believe me with there being so few trees where I live that is very important....**BIG HUGS*** |

I remember the smell of a real Christmas tree, and its been a lot of years since I've had one. Thanks for the memory. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Kacy, And I should have figured that out for myself. May you two have a peaceful holiday filled with joy. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |

Excellent post! I do not believe in 'murdering' conifers... I'm glad the reference here was to a 'potted' one! I especially liked the ending: "the wonders that make this holiday An eternally celestial giving memory" |

A living Christmas tree! How lovely! I felt like crying when we used to chop down our own! Well, I didn't actually take part in the 'execution'. I could imagine the tree screaming! Not a very merry Christmas for our conifer friends! Have a glorious Christmas and may the coming year be a joyous one! Love & Christmas Light, Linda |
