A Christmas story: The Pink Tree

[saeru]

I've seen a lot of adds this year about personal Christmas stories. This one is probably one of mine, written in an email to a friend of mine this morning as we commiserate about the stringent traditions that our family makes us go through. I'm reposting it here because I think it says a lot about my feelings on this Holiday.

Liz is upstairs. If you get lonely, I'm sure she would appreciate the company. She's very sweet and kind, and lives upstairs in the apartment with the rug in front of it. #5.

Tim and I have been using a lighted palm tree that Jess picked out at Lows in one of her happy manic moments so many years ago. At this point, it's just not Christmas in the apartment unless our Christmas Palm Tree is up and our three or four ornaments are precariously dangling from its drooping limbs.
