Yesterday we noticed them removing the lights.
Today we saw them take the tree down. This was a majestic beauty from the town of Malmedy over in eastern Belgium. And they unceremoniously chopped at it until it fell and then they began cutting the branches off so they could haul them away. We left before the trunk was completely nude. It was sad, not just for the wasted tree but because this was our last Christmas in Belgium.

Ask youself this--Did the tree bring me joy? If yes, then it was not a waste. Remember, we grow Christmas trees, and with that said, it means we plant Christmas trees--at a 10 to 1 rate. So, enjoy it while it is up and decorated--it was grown just for that very purpose....donald
Notwithstanding Donald's reasonable and rational perspective, it would have made me sad, too.
