I love this tree.
This tree tried its best to give up this year. Little by little, this pre-lit wonder had its lights burn out. Each time we turned around, there was another dark spot. And we’d grab a strand of lights and start wrapping. Until we we were out of lights.
And then I got all philosophical and decided to read way too much into the tree. Maybe, just maybe, we’re not meant to be fully lit, full time. Maybe we’re supposed to embrace those dark spots and quit trying to constantly cover them with light.
And probably, most definitely, for sure, our Christmas tree was making a fashion statement.
