How I got the tree

More than ever I wanted to have a real evergreen in the house this year. I learned that evergreens were originally a pagan tradition that represented the persistence of life, despite challenges. So with wild intent I acquired my tree branch by going out into the yard to get a little, yes little, ever-green branch. Then with a little tug down came this huge piece of tree. I giggled like crazy and ran for the back door dragging it inside like a pirates booty.
