Every year we buy a real Christmas Tree. This year, however, I decided that we needed a skinny tree that would fit in our crowded home a little better. I handed John his tape measure and sent him and the kids off to find a tree just the right size. Hours later they came back with no tree. So I bought the fake tree. When the kids found out they were very unhappy. Anjani was devastated. She informed me in a very angry voice that she would not hang any of her ornaments on a fake tree. She would not be looking at that tree and none of her presents would be placed under a fake tree. Her story changed as the decorating began and of course her gifts will be placed right under that tree!
