O Weihnachtsbaum, O Weihnachtsbaum!
Being from Wisconsin, just the thought of purchasing a fake Christmas tree can amount to sacrilege. But, I confess, this year we’ve done just that.
O Fake Weihnachtsbaum, O Fake Weihnachtsbaum! How I adore thee.
O Fake Weihnachtsbaum, O Fake Weihnachtsbaum! No more needles dropping from the tree!
Truly, I love real Christmas trees. The smell, the texture, all of it. But with 3 barfing cats, one dog who tears apart everything she encounters, and two kids who would probably climb it, this year a fake one just seemed like a better idea. And a fake one that fit on top of our table seemed like the best idea.
But, one tradition we haven’t changed is our yearly trek to a Hallmark store for each family member to purchase an ornament of their own choosing.

But my choice isn’t too bad, either. Anyone remember the mooing barn toy from Fischer-Price? I now have a tree-sized version:
No matter what your tradition or holiday, here’s wishing you and yours the best!

I think that your mooing ornament should be proudly displayed all year rather than confined to a box during the off Christmas seasons.
