O Christmas Tree...

O Christmas Tree how lovely are NOT thy branches.
(Sigh) Last year we just adored our live German Christmas tree! It stayed alive well after Christmas! We were so excited to get another one this year. So when the first week of December came, we went to the same place we baught our tree last year. Oh, it was beautiful. We got all the lights on and ornaments on and it smelled so nice! We made sure it had plenty of water, you know all the things you're supposed to do. Sadly about 2 weeks before Christmas we noticed that the tree looked sad. It had plenty of water, but was not drinking it. Then a week before Christmas the tree was soooo sad that if we kept turning the lights on it was probably going to catch fire. We were sooo disapointed, but kept it up to have in the background of our Christmas morning pictures. Poor Christmas Tree. :0(
