How come we put up our Christmas trees so early? I faintly remember trekking up to either the Tischart's on Lancaster or walking with Maureen to the corner of Lancaster and Victoria to bring one back on a toboggan. Stephanie tells me that they would often wait until Christmas eve to put up their tree.
And then there was the joy of putting the tree up...I'm still recovering from those experiences. As Larry recently told me...holding the tree up while Dad tightened the screws or fastened it to the window was worth a lifetime of memories.
After years of suffering from watery eyes and runny noses....we have gone to the almight fake!
