I've had this little tree for a while now. I got it on clearance years ago. It came with lights on it.
And that's how I displayed it for years.
With the lights.
But when I pulled it out of the Christmas storage the other day I decided the lights just looked silly on that tree.
This is not a tree to be adorned with lights and tinsel.
No, this is a tree that is beautiful on its own.
So I yanked those lights off.
It has the qualities of a real tree in nature that I love. It's not all "glammed" up like trees are at Christmastime.
It's plain and simple. Like trees really are.
A Charlie Brown tree if you will.
And I love it just the way it is.
Sometimes it is important to get away from the Christmas glitz and glam and appreciate the holiday for the simpler joy it can bring. Like families spending time on five-hour Monopoly games!
