So I'm a little late posting this, but better late than never right. I have a Christmas memory to post for you. Most people's are about baking cookies or snow and sorts-mine is a little different.
I did get permission to post this-well sort of you. I just told my mom I was going to post it. Sorry mom, but if I was stand up comic I would be telling it across stages everywhere.
So, when I was a little girl my mom and dad bought this giagantic Christmas tree, I mean huge. One much bigger than my tiny mother. You'll see why that note is important later.
Well the darn thing kept falling over after we put it up. I even remember the tree lost its green luster and turned to a strange gray brown color. I don't know if it stopped sucking up the water in the dish below it or what?? But it sure was getting ugly looking.
Well, let me tell you my momma had had it with the Christmas tree from you know where. On Christmas Eve the tree fell one last time. This time Momma said "That's it." She opened up the french doors that led to a porch overlooking our backyard. With one big swing little momma threw out our sad big Christmas tree ornaments and all. Daddy and I didn't say a word, we just sat there looked at her. We were to scared too. I don't know if you've ever seen a red headed woman mad on Christmas Eve because her Christmas tree wouldn't stay up, but it's not a place you want to be.
So that's the Christmas we spent without a tree...well we had one it was just laying in the backyard. Momma did play ball in high school she's always had a good arm, we didn't know until that day though she could throw trees!!! By the way, now we have artificial trees so momma is happy during the holidays and doesn't have to spend time throwing trees out doors. Love you momma!!
Hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year.
