Thats MY Christmas Tree!

It was in early December one day that daddy brought up the Christmas tree.  It is the same tree they have had sense Jaci was little, when they first moved in to their house on the edge of the state park in Foley.
It was decorated with care by little hands, the ornaments hung on the branches and the red rope tinsel was wrapped carefully from top to bottom.  The final thing was to place the angel on the top of the tree, plugging it in so it could blink on and off.
That tree has stood there for over a month - It is January now, the Wise Men have arrived at the stable to see the baby Jesus...
it is time daddy thinks
to take down the tree.
He brings up the box from the basement and starts to dismantle the ornaments, the red rope tinsel, and then finally the angel.  He is placing everything into the box...
When suddenly what did appear?
But a little girl from the kitchen, protesting for her daddy to hear...
Stop that right now the little girl did say...
That is my Christmas tree and right there it should stay!!
So she hooted and cried and daddy did still
But knew that the Christmas tree had to be put away if you will.
So he did some fast talking and in the box it did go
Jordyn is not happy - this her daddy did know.
STOP once again she called out
That is MY Christmas tree you are boxing about!
Daddy picks up the box as she looks at him with surprise
He can see Christmas still in her eyes.
So they decide right there and then that Christmas is all year in the Harren house.
But the tree will be boxed for now,  all will take part - even the mouse!
Little did we know back in July that Jordyn would be the proud owner of a Christmas tree
The Spirit lives in her heart and always will be.
Bye bye tree until next December
But when it is time to put it away, this little story we must remember!
