With the season over it is now time to take it down. I, of course am referring to the Christmas tree. It's not real so I don't have to worry about it drying out and possibly causing a fire. It is a nice tree, a tree that was purchased about seven years ago from Menards on BLACK FRIDAY.
It is a bittersweet time because it is a pretty tree with the sparkling lights, tinsel, gold garland and favorite ornaments, yet at the same time it is taking up space and maybe in my mind I am getting a little tired of looking at it. Because I am getting up in years one thought comes to mind and that is will I be here next year to put it back up. That thought has come to mind for the past 25 years and I am still here although my wife is not. She is an angel decorating a tree in Heaven. It's funny because when I am decorating it and I put a ornament on the tree there are times when a voice whispers in my ear "it doesn't belong there" so I move it.
Needless to say it will be coming down tomorrow and put away until next year when I will be putting it back up.
