In 2007 we went shopping for a Christmas tree and wound up buying one in a pot. It's a living tree. During the summer it resides in our backyard among some other plants, largely ignored but quietly growing. When Christmas approaches we bring it in doors. This year there was a bees' nest in it and I had to get rid of them. We'll use the tree for one more Christmas and then it will be so big we'll have to take it up to the mountains and plant it. I hope it will be up there for hundreds of years, long after all of us are gone, with a distant memory of warm Christmases with our family. Merry Christmas to all of you!
