Designer Christmas Tree?

The other night we put up our Christmas tree. I didn’t know there were “designer color themes” for trees. All I cared about was that my Chicago Bears ornament, the Somebody in Cincinnati Loves Me ornament, and my lucky golden golfball ornament made it on the tree. Unfortunately, since these didn’t meet the color pallet requirements I was vetoed, however arrangements have been made for a second tree that will be decorated with my oddball trinity. I assumed my normal duties for this event.

After bringing the boxes of decorations, I set up the tree, untangled the lights and got the heck out of the way. From that point, it was pure bliss for me to watch my lovely wife decorate the tree all the while old holiday music played bringing fond memories of Christmas days of old. Watching her laser-focus decorating that tree was like watching an artist paint a fresh canvas or like watching a hall of fame bound quarterback orchestrate a 90 yard, game winning, scoring drive with less than two minutes remaining. Beautiful.

I pray that you all have a similar Kodak moment.
