O, Christmas Tree

Dad went to the woods to cut down a Christmas tree, but it did not fit in the house any which way you see; so, he cut off the sides and cut off the top_ that year we had a square Christmas tree, chop chop ! ___________________ December 23, 2021 Poetry/Rhyme/O, Christmas Tree Copyright Protected, ID 12-1415-768-23 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, A Funny Christmas sponsor, Tania Kitchin, Judged 01/09/2022 Second Place

Lindsay, thanks for the visit, yes that year our Christmas tree was different (and quite ugly according to Mom) especially with no top for the angel ~friendship and poetry _ Constance

So clever, Constance! And, I can recall my dad cutting the bottom off of the tree and trying to get it to stand straight in the tree stand. It never looked quite as good as it did in the woodland. Ah! Christmas memories are wonderful, aren't they? Great writing!
