Well today I went out to the local nursery and bought a small live Christmas Tree.  It has the root ball attached to it so that when spring comes I can plant the tree in the back yard.  I’ve been doing it this way for years.  I prefer to do this because I feel bad about chopping down a live tree just to decorate it for a brief time in the house and then throwing it away.  I just prefer to sustain life instead of taking it!  I had to arrange for the nursery to deliver it; I’m expecting them to deliver it tomorrow morning!  It’s a nice looking blue spruce tree.  Now I have to go dig out the ornaments!
