I heard this essay a couple of weeks ago on NPR and I immediately thought of my sister, Emily. You see, Emily hates those ugly trees with homemade Christmas ornaments. I guess she likes the idea of a beautiful, coordinated tree. She always says that when she has her own kids, she is going to give them their own little Christmas tree for all those handmade ornaments. I have a feeling she will change her mind once her kids say, "Hey, Mommy...look at this ornament I made you!" :)
This essay is called "Appreciating the Ugliness of a Christmas Tree" by Ken Harbaugh. Enjoy!
