“Mommy, will you be putting up the Christmas tree this
year?”, my daughter asked.
“I’m still thinking about it.”, was my response. Setting up the Christmas tree and Belen has
been another on-again-off-again affair with me since my kids graduated from college.
Reasons ranged from political: “no tree until an unpopular president is
booted out” to the apathetic: “why bother”.
“Come on mommy. It
will be fun.”, my daughter countered.
