The Tree.

For the past several Christmases, Aunt Sherry & Uncle Tom have sent us a real tabletop tree - complete with pinecones, berries and ribbon. When you open the box, the scent of evergreen fills our palm-treed air. We have come to look forward to this special delivery very much - kind of like a little slice of our northern home for Christmas. (In fact, just last week I said to myself, "Self, where is this year's tree? Harumff!" And then the next day, there it was at my front door!) Thank you very much, Aunt Sherry and Uncle Tom, the yearly tree makes us very happy.

For today's music, a little Rob Thomas - a new favorite of mine!
