Tree

At work we got a voucher for a tree. One area of the parking lot was filled with trees and people giving out hot chocolate milk. All trees were in a net, a green sausage if you will.
Because the new house is so large and the living room plenty high enough I said to DP "let's take the biggest tree they have"
HB was kind enough to let us fill his car with the tree and suffer the needles after he dropped it of with us. We fed him dinner for it ;-)
It took a while before we got around to unpacking the tree, and DP decided it should be in a corner. First after taking the netting off, nothing much happened. The branches are ever so slow coming down. Now it is standing quietly and dark and very wide. It is a beautiful tree. No one seems in a hurry to decorate it and that is fine by me. It wouldn't make the tree any more beautiful to me.
Somehow it makes me feel like we have a giant teddybear in the corner of the room, keeping watch.
Sending you hugs for this time of year.

    That sounds amazing. I'd have dearly loved to have bought a real tree for the new house, but we barely had time to unpack and I am stuck with the plastic horror of my student days, replete with red and black tinsel.

    I hope it is still smelling lovely!
