We have been blessed to celebrate Christmases in California, Utah, Indonesia, South Africa and now Florida. So today we went out looking for a tree where Mary could hang her ever growing collection of Christmas ornaments. I wanted a living tree which we could plant when Christmas was over but we could not find one even at nurseries. We found some nice cut trees but they all needed a stand and that seemed like a waste of money so we ended up with a four foot artificial tree which seemed just right for our apartment this year and which we can take home to use next Christmas

  

As usual I set up the tree, put on the lights and decorate the top of the tree – and take pictures. Mary got to do everything else.
