First Christmas gift of the year

We’d decided to use the artificial Christmas tree this year, and apparently that didn’t sit well with my sister. She came by earlier this week with a ticket for a tree from Habilitat, a local substance abuse rehab facility.

Off I went this morning to pick it up, saying I was going out and repeating the mantra “Ask me no questions and I’ll tell you no lies.” I brought back our six-foot Noble Fir and carted it around to the back of the house where Mom could see it. Her eyes got really big and her jaw dropped a foot.

My sister’s gift gets an “A” grade.
