On Sunday we went to the Christmas Tree farm to pick out our annual Christmas tree. Each year it's the same kind of tree for us, Noble Fir or Blue Spruce. I have never been a fan of Leland Cypress or Pine trees. They always seemed a little to flimsy and I thought our ornaments would never stay on the their branches. However, this year we walked right up and I saw a line of Leland Cypress Trees in pots. It's called a "Living" Christmas tree. After the holidays you can take it outside and plant it. Jon has wanted to do this for several years now, but like I said I NEVER liked these trees. But this day one of these trees just popped out at me.
The kids wanted nothing to do with this tree. They wanted to get our usual kind of tree. I humored them and looked at those. Needless to say they were beautiful trees, but something in my heart just wanted that first tree I spotted.
I asked them to take a look at the cypress tree agian, just one more time. I stood right in front of it and I said to Jon, "I can't understand it, but there is just something about this tree???" Jon replied,
"I think you are drawn to this tree because it's a "living" tree. Maybe it's symbolizes hope? Maybe it's Renee's tree? When he said this I cried. Needless to say, we went home with "Renee's Tree".
