Holiday Decorations 2



For the last few years we've enjoyed having a real tree from Wisconsin in the Alexandria house. One of our neighbors has some land and a tree farm out that way, and does a few trips a year to tend to the trees. Then a longer trip around T-giving to harvest and sell, and they bring back a number of them for friends and neighbors here in Virginia. So here's a photo of the tree.

Also, the apple squash and pumpkin 'tableau' has been taken down for our annual holiday display, which Mary put up last night after we did the tree.

One final holiday tradition I'd highlight here. Every year after we finish the tree, we play the holiday polka "Must be Santa" - it's on the Rounder Christmas album by the same name. A second great song off of this CD is George Thorogood's "Rock and Roll Christmas" - just checked and it's an easy search to find this on Amazon...I agree with the reviews there as well.
