Andrea, Your acknowledgement that it is great is enough. I was not sure about the meter especially the last line. Don't do meter. LOL..I guess I just don't have rhythm. I am grateful for your visit. Sara

Darlene, I am glad that is in the past. Life issues us some unusual happenings sometimes. I think we learn lessons all along the way from those happenings. I hope this Christmas Day is a great one for you. Sara

Alexis, I have no idea but I think maybe it was the stand that was holding it up was damaged or bent. I bought a new stand the next year and I have not had that happen again. I am needing another new stand but I did not even put up a tree this year. I did put out the Nativity Scene and a few other decorations maybe next year. Sara

Caren, Well, I had even tied it by a string to the wall and it still fell. The nail and string were on the floor as well. LOL..Something was definitely wrong. Thanks for dropping by. Sara
