For me, the taking down of the Christmas tree is a sad day. I delay it as long as humanly possible...I mean really if it were up to me, I'd leave our tree up all year 'round. I mean it's fake, so there's no threat of fire or mass needle exodus. But, I knew deep down it was time. So, this past weekend I took down our tree. I miss it terribly. And I really miss these little guys. See you next year fellas...
