I have been buying my Christmas trees for the past several years from the
Lutheran High baseball team, but the player I'd been buying from graduated and
I didn't realize it until it was too late to get one last year. This year
I called the Athletic Department and they had someone contact me so I was able
to get a tree. Unfortunately, this player is a senior, but I spoke to a
lady at pick up and she put me on her list to contact next year (her son's a
sophomore so I'm set for the next two years).
We picked the tree up on Friday night and Devin, Janice and Kyleigh came
over to help set it up on Saturday. This is the main reason that we
need their help with setting up the tree. All of our Christmas boxes are
kept in the attic above the garage and it's nice to have help getting them
down. Kyleigh is rearranging the boxes; she didn't actually hand them
down. We let Janice do that.

My mother-in-law gave us the tree skirt over 40 years ago
and it still looks as nice as the day she gave it to us. There's only one
decoration on the tree; Janice added the snowman as she walked out the door.
