Picture of the Day for December 24, 2018

Back in the olden days, when school let out for the Christmas break, one of the tasks I had with my siblings was to cut the Christmas tree. But it had to be a “special” pick and not in the good way. We had planted pine trees for a windbreak and the ones we were allowed to cut were ones crowding out another tree so normally they were flat on one side or something else wrong with it. But the flat sided Charlie Brown tree worked well tight against the wall. Every year though, the tree seemed to grow five feet from the time we cut it until we got it in the house! This tree would have fit in with the Charlie Brown tree theme without a center leader to mount the star on, but would work if you couldn’t decide on an angel or star for the top and wanted both, if only you could figure out how to attach them to the twin side branches.
