Sherds from a jar of clay

We bought our Christmas Tree today and got it put up. It has been a much better experience then usual. The new tree stand we bought at the end of last season worked great, went together easier and faster, meaning much less grumbling to "humbug" the experience. We had a working saw to trim the trunk (in past years we have broken saws or had to borrow from neighbors). Vicky counted the rings in the cut and it was a 16 year old tree.
Best of all the tree itself is full and beautiful, one of the best we have had in ages. It was also an easy purchase, it was only $30 and the guy running the lot was VERY helpful and patient in showing us a number of trees till we found what we wanted. He even let Andrew help carry it to the car and showed him how he was tying it on.
I hope you to have a good tree experience this year. If you live in the W. Philadelphia area (or drive through it going to burb land) and still need a tree I would give this tree lot a try, all trees were #30 no matter what size, the guy was helpful and it felt good to support a local person rather then a big operation.

The Lot is on 61st and Lancaster Avenue across from the Kentucky Fried Chicken (hey you could grab dinner while you are there too!)
Happy Decorating
