'Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree'

Posted on 4:34 PM by Unknown
by Mary Mitchell


I absolutely love having a real Christmas tree in my home.

Oh! Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches.

That is, for the first five minutes! Then I argue with my husband about where it should go, soon afterwards it starts to shed its needles and, of course, the baubles drop off.

For those of you who feel the same way, here is the gift of a virtual Christmas tree.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!


"Oh Tannenbaum" by the Vince Guaraldi Trio:
