Christmas in 2020

A few weeks our Christmas tree fell over.

Jamie and I were sitting in silence after putting the kids to bed, when out of the blue the tree fell over.

We lost the star. And most of the ornaments.

The needles went everywhere. And I mean everywhere.

Candy canes smashed and slid across the floor.

Neither of us moved. I’m not lying. We just sat there. Looked up. Nodded. Looked down. And went back to our phones. Apparently a giant tree flipping over in our living room can’t phase us.

It was pretty comical.

We fixed the tree an hour later. There was some cursing. A little laughter.

The star never went back up. The ornaments are mostly one sided in hopes it levels the weight out.

Every day it leans a bit more.

But we still plug the old girl in and listen to Cooper gasp every time at it’s beauty. He claims he’s never seen a more perfect tree. He tells us that by clapping with joy every morning as if it’s his first time seeing it.

This is the most 2020 tree of all time. Such a metaphor for life right now.

Merry Christmas from us. Let’s hope she lasts 4 more days.
