On the hunt...

 I am looking for the world's best Christmas tree.  I truly want an artificial one and one that comes pre-lit.  My dilemma is?  Should I use last year's old tree, fire it up (not literally) and enjoy it for one more year and THEN after Christmas go to a fine nursery store and buy a very, very expensive tree for half price or more to use for next year?  My instinct tells me to wait and find that perfect tree after the holidays.  (Also I am cheap and like a great deal.)

I love the look and smell of a real  fresh-cut tree but feel so bad when I see them cast to the curb after Christmas to be picked up by the trash man.  Seems like such a waste.  That little tree took some years to grow and to use it for just a few short weeks seems unthinkable to me.  Thus I am going for the fake.   Fake tree, fake fur, fake whatever is always good and lasts forever.

Pray that the perfect tree will have an encounter with me and I will recognize it, adopt it and bring it to a good home where it will be well loved and cherished.  Hurray for the Christmas tree! (Notice I did not call it a holiday tree)  It is indeed a Christmas tree because the Christ in Christmas is what the season is all about.  Blessings to you all today.  Get on your knees and start now!
