N-Oh Christmas Tree

So it's December 6th and folks are getting into the Christmas spirit. I imagine that I am too, I just show it differently.

Yesterday at work two of my co-workers went out and got the office Christmas tree. I gotta admit, it was beautiful and smelled amazing. Wouldn't you know it...I ended up helping to decorate. I didn't mind though. I just found it odd that I was decorating the office tree and couldn't remember the last time we had a tree at home. I think I've lived at my current residence for 7 years and we had a tree that 1st year. Nothing since then. And yes, my kids were with me so I'm sure that I did them a disservice by not having a tree.

Bottom line...my funds have always been (and still are) extrememly low. The price of a tree could buy groceries. I opt for groceries.
Additionally, we don't have any ornaments and there's no way that I'm gonna buy any BEFORE Christmas when I know that they'll go on sale the day AFTER. Then the day AFTER comes and I don't wanna deal with the "After Christmas" crowd. So...looks like we'll be having another Tree-less Christmas.

Again though, I do LOVE Christmas and all that it stands for...the birth of our Lord Jesus. Yeah, I get that no one REALLY knows the date of His birth, and not of that matters. Heck, for all I know He may have been born on July 14th like me. All that matters is that He WAS born, was crucified, died, and on the 3rd day, He rose again. That's ALL that matters to me.

So...Let the DIALOGUE begin: Do you get (or put up) a tree every year?

Talk to me!

Til next time...
