Our Christmas tree is up, but a work in progress. This year’s Noble Fir is

a departure from the more traditional bushy tree shape and is causing some

consternation in the family as well as  comments such as “what happened to the top half?”

and “ maybe we should even it out a bit.”  In chatting with friends I have heard numerous

stories about modifying the Christmas tree by fastening extra branches in bare spots.

But  I subscribe to the old adage , “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”   And I know

our Christmas tree will grow more beautiful with time – and a few ornaments –

and perhaps an eggnog.  Cheers!
