My father died on Christmas Eve when I was a teen and I've gotten in the habit of keeping the holiday low key ona personal level, but not at the expense of others. I'll spend Christmas morning at Liz's house (Last year she had the house decorated with T W E L V E trees) and spend the afternoon going to apartment complexes, putting out large bags of pet food near the dumpsters to give a Christmas dinner for all the abandoned cats and dogs while she celebrates the day with her daughters and grand kids.

and don't say, throw it in the river for the fish! This is a situation in which a choice must be made between alternative courses of action or an argument with our local government. """"""" One chops it up and waits. In a moment's stillness of a stormy night when the creek has risen four feet and is rushing all the real tree people open their back gates and walk about fifteen steps to the now-a-river creek and say Sayonara.... to the tree... it's a ritual ;)..... However... we too have joined the Pretend Tree for Life Society... only we were gifted with it. I wanted something here in the house though most of our Christmas is spent five minutes away with our daughter and family :) We purchased one and at the same time were given a new one as a gift... purchase returned, gift unwrapped and set up... Lovely!! Only needs 'tree smell spray' ;) and the whole thing is complete. Sigh... one could live with 'tree smell'... all year long... hums... It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....
