Christmas Tree

Our Christmas Tree nearly have it. It might be its last season. It took some tricky tinkering to assemble it again. In hindsight I should have got a new one. We have this one for nearly 20 years. It has served it's purpose. But I'm a hoarder, I endeavor to fix things. I don't chuck the towel, I mean the Christmas Tree that quick. But if things just cause us heartache and trouble we should let it go. Much like a relationship we try and stay and fix things but it gets worse. And life is too short to fight argue and miserable . So we just learn to let it go and cut our losses, and save our sanity along the way.

I fought and argue with myself trying to fix the tree. It brought blood sweat and tears. It was a hot day I was sweating in trying to wrestle and fix it...I cut my finger a bit and there was blood, I was just exaggerating with the tears though.

Next year the tree has to go, all we will be left with, will be the memories and snaps of it. We've open many presents under it. There was double tickle me Elmos that Santa left for the twinnies. And who could forget the Furbys? And all those fashionable Barbie dolls with all their accessories. They ended up with 5boxes of them. But in our latest move the girls would not let me hang on to it. They were brutal and donated it to The Salvation Army. At least other little girls might enjoy dressing them up and brushing their hairs , along with their boyfriend Ken dolls, they will be parading in some other little girls bedroom.

Or maybe I can keep the tree, hide it in the garage. Although it will not serve it's purpose anymore. Shhhhh...let's just hope the girls won't notice it and won't throw it away. Really I'm not clingy, it's called preservation. Nahhhh I have learnt to let go, so it can go. When Christmas is over or maybe after New Year?
