The day after Thanksgiving we cut down our tree. Just like last year, except unlike last year we forgot to water it for a week. Once we both realized a week had gone by, we felt inside the dry stand and knew it was going to be hard for it to survive until Christmas. We have watered it every day since, but the tree is barely soaking up any water now. I am afraid it will be brown on Christmas day. I touch the needles and they crumble to the ground.
Lincoln looked at the tree with his hands held together and begged, “Christmas tree! Please don’t die! You can make it! Please, please! You have to be here for Christmas!”
With so much faith in a tree, I think it might possibly make it a little longer. I try to keep the lights off for fear of it catching fire!
Now for some pictures:
Cutting the tree down at the tree farm.
Putting the tree up! I wanted the tallest tree I could find. Neither of us have had one this big before!
When we decorate the tree we listen to Christmas music and drink “special drinks.”
It looks prettier in real life, but I have never been any good at taking pictures of Christmas trees!
Wish our tree a few more days!
