Christmas, in my living room

So, it's the season known as Christmas.  [Have you heard?]  My Christmas began the day after Thanksgiving when I arrived home to housemates and friend, ready to head on out, for a little tree-cuttin'.

We walked the rows of a nearby tree farm,

 until we found it,

the perfect one.

[We knew it was the one,

because it was glowing.]

 We cut it down,

we loaded it up.

We brought it home,

with song [yes, there was a serenade...],

with laughs,

with love.

We all felt very good about it.

[Especially our wanna-be lumberjacks...]

After Noel left us to move on with his evening,

 we made some hot toddies and lit that baby up,

with ribbons, 

with JOY.

Christmas, here, in my living room!
