Christmas trees

The snow reminds me of the Christmas trees when I was young. My parents never bought a tree. We had a family in our church who decorated the santuary with live trees. After the Christmas service on Fridays before Christmas you could take a tree if you wanted. We always took a tree. The family owned a seed company and sold the trees. One year we had blue trees. That year my oldest sister who was in college Sorority, The Zeta Tau Alpha, and whose colors were blue and silver for their Christmas dance they had sprayed small trees with silver and blue. I really did not care for blue trees. Silver is not bad. I think we had two and they sat in front of the fireplace. Since my mother always removed things early we did not have them too long. I think I'll let Christmas past alone for awhile and take on January 2010.
