Our first Christmas Tree
December 2nd, 2007 @ 9.46 pm
Yesterday (Saturday) we went with most of the other families in our Bible study to a Christmas tree farm a bit west of where we live and sawed down some Christmas trees. There was a mistake in the shaking/ wrapping up the trees that resulted in the Sroka’s not getting a tree - it seems someone else took theirs in the shuffle of trees, but other than that incident we all got some nice trees. Afterward we invited everyone back to our place and had some tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches while Navy was beating Army to a crushing win.
Today we got the tree inside and set up with a stand borrowed from the Kremann household, and we got some lights and a star at Target. And of course we then put them on. Traditionally in my family’s house we used colored lights, but we decided to get white lights this year. I guess I just didn’t want to follow the tradition that I’ve always done. Hopefully my mom will still accept me as I am.
