We've been married seven years and this is the first year we picked out our own live tree! (All these pine trees around us made us do it!) Jaime and I made a date out of it one Saturday and just went, regardless of the weather or the crowds. To think last year our "Christmas tree" was drawn on a white erase board with a purple marker--I didn't have green. What a vast difference in the resulting holiday spirit that emitted from it! Huckleberry loved it so much he rubbed his face in the pine needles, rearranging my strings of lights. We had a pretty tree with this strange circle of undecorated branches smack dab in the middle. (For those of you who are wondering--no--Huck continued to do his "markings" outside, thankfully!)
In a world of turmoil and uncertainty, it is more important than ever to make our families the center of our lives and the top of our priorities. (April 2003. L. Tom Perry. The Importance of the Family.)
