'Twas the evening before the boy was to set off for a 3-week adventure in the Caribbean for work. It was the 3 weeks leading up to Christmas, and I had come to terms I would not have a Christmas tree...
Along with a severe chest infection, I sat woefully in the kitchen when I heard the front door open. Then I heard a commotion at the door, and a strange man appeared... carrying A PINE TREE!
