In memory of Christmas Tree
December, 2005 - January, 2006
The tree went out the front door to cries of, "Bring back Christmas!" from the almost 5 year old jumping up and down in distress in the front hall. It sat in the front yard and the same child sat with it, gently stroking the sharp branches. "It's OK, Christmas," he consoled. Once on the car, the tears really began to flow, "Christmas, where are you going!?"
"It's time to go away, Christmas is all done," said a voice sounding just like the boy's father.
"Ok, Christmas. I love you." replied the boy, watching his feet.
"Bye, bye, Andrew. I'll be back next year" replied the tree.
"OK. Thanks."
