happy fall, y'all

my lil tree

It was Christmas Day a few years ago and Walgreen's was open.  Forget what I went in for but there they were at the register -- Charlie Brown Christmas trees for $2.50 each.  I'd wanted one ever since I first saw them in a high-end catalog for $30 years before.  For $30 I can get a live tree, so this markdown seemed more reasonable. 

This tree shouldn't be expensive. It's kind of the point.  

A Charlie Brown tree says, "none of it matters".  The lights and the events and the shopping -- quit working so hard at celebrating peace.  Find some people you love, gather around a swaddled twig and sing some songs.  Christmas.  

"I never thought it was such a bad little tree.   It's not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love."
