A few years ago we decided that the live holiday tree was too much for our current life-style. It’s not that we don’t love the scent and the annual ritual of putting on the decorations, but it’s not the same without the kids around and as they have scattered to both coasts we find we are left alone with this tradition. It seemed time to move on.
I then envisioned our arts and craft home filled with trees for the holiday season – I think I started with an idea of "a tree in every room", and now we have about 50 trees and certainly not 50 rooms. Today I carried them from the attic and found the box with the pink tree, a purchase from last year.
Ed and I were at Kohl’s, neither of us good shoppers and these are quick and efficient trips for us, especially this time of year. I had darted into the holiday decor department just to check out what was there and was exiting not finding anything to purchase when Ed stopped me and asked "Did you see the pink tree?".
Ed is not a pink tree kind of person. In fact, I am certain that about 70% of our holiday decor is tackier than he even imagined he would be living with during this lifetime. And yet, he is asking me this. And as I turn around I see a tree that is truly PINK. Wildly pink, shiny pink with lights and all.
And I fall in love with it, snap it up and head for the check-outs. And in those few moments I realize how much this man loves me – to point out to me this tree that he will live with for years and probably doesn’t like at all – and yet knows I will love it and enjoy it every day.
As I unpack the tree today I wonder if he knows that this tree will forever bring back this story to me – that his love for me and wish for my happiness will forever be what pops out of the box each December.
My grandmother used to tell me, almost daily, to slow down — if we are not missing the scent of roses perhaps we are missing the joy of pink holiday trees. Let’s not, this season.

With thanks!

their motive, and that is also happening with this piece of writing

Hi, I think your website might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your website in Firefox, it looks fine but
when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, terrific blog!
Superb site you have here but I was curious if you knew of any community forums that

where I can get feed-back from other knowledgeable individuals that share the same interest.

I adore studying and I believe this website got
some really utilitarian stuff on it!
Of course, in the event you opt for a no cost site,
you can have more than social contact based upon your mood and the friends you’re making
on each site. Now, there’s nothing to bother with because internet world and
online dating services have eradicated this trouble. By it is rather nature, however, internet dating as you may know it, is infested with scammers and
syndicates, which means you really should apply some sound judgment
and employ a little bit more caution when joining those hitherto unknown online dating services websites that of the
sudden sprout and so are boasting of the veritable selection of Russian women all ages and from
all regions.
I believe this is among the most important information for me.
And i’m glad studying your article. But want to statement on some basic issues,
The website taste is great, the articles is in point of fact nice : D.
Good process, cheers
