Oh, Christmas Tree

I was just sitting watching T.V. and occasionally looking at and admiring the tree and I thought how this is the first Christmas in many years that it's really felt like Christmas to me.  It's partly the fact that I'll be spending Christmas with most of my immediate family but I honestly think a huge part is having that tree in my home.

I've bothered less and less every year for the past 20 years decorating for Christmas until I did next to nothing, just a wreath on the door, but the tree means a lot more to me than I had thought it would.

It feels like Christmas.
