This is a great trip because each one carries the memories of "Christmas Tress Past." The act of choosing, cutting and hauling this tree has been a highlight for me over the years. The kids are always proud when we put it up that they selected it. They saw the inner beauty of that particular tree, and now it is showing everyone what a great choice it was.
We cut the tree down yesterday and today we went to see our friends Cathy and Bud Vogt. We were in their heated greenhouse as their crew made dozens of wreaths, kissing ball, boughs, and bows. It is fast propelling me into the spirit.
This morning at Mass, Father Noone showed photos he took of Zoo Lights in Phoenix. I was so proud because Thomas worked there for 3 years, and I knew that some of the photos that Father Noone was showing were of work that Thomas had done. I will have to explain in a later post how Father Noone works Zoo Lights into his homily.
