We got our tree last night. It wasn’t too difficult, really – – some years I go through dozens of trees until I find the one that moves me. And usually it’s way below zero and freezing cold outside when I do this. Last night was warm, relatively speaking (warm for Wisconin mid-December) – and C. and I went through about 6 trees.

There still remains too much stuff to do and not enough time to do it – in regards to C.’s visit a week from tomorrow. I’m thrilled about it, though.
