Black is the New Green

My 3rd tree was an impulse. That crazy SueAnn showed us her black Christmas tree and I JUST HAD TO HAVE ONE. A couple days later, at Border's Books, there was a 24" black tree at a give-away price. It became MINE. I already had these animal head ornaments to represent wildlife here: black bear, racoon, fox and horse. Throw on a miniature bead garland plus a candle topper and call it done. I want to thank all you gals for sharing your enthusiasm for the holidays, each in your own way. It snapped me out of my mood of drudge and obligation. Opened my eyes to the importance of giving of self, not of stuff. Stuff is nice, though! Even though he wasn't here to help me unload $300 worth of groceries today, I still want to thank my Bob for giving his time to take the 3 kids to see "Avatar". Merry Christmas everyone.
