Yesterday we took a short drive to buy a cut tree in the middle of the day. Whatever possessed us?

We envy the neighbors up the street who, every December 1, unfold their artificial tree, lights and all, with the same tasteful ornaments hung in mere minutes. From the sidewalk it looks as real as any real tree and it is particularly nicely decorated.

No, every year we drive off to a lot and inspect the noble firs cut down in the prime of life and frozen for the trip to the city. There is something wrong with every one of them. That's a feature. It's what makes them real.

We do try to avoid the bent trunk or a skewed top but we know there are going to be holes to fill with lights and ornaments.
