Christmas Trees

I don't think there is that perfect tree out there even if there is that almost perfect poem of Joyce Kilmer about a "tree."

The perfect tree for Christmas tree is the "artificial tree" for Christmas tree because all the branches are measured according to one definite size and shape.

As usual the Christmas tree that we have is not the fake or artificial tree but you know the real tree with real branches and twigs and the shape is irregular and imperfectly not measured. Some branches are not longer and some branches and twigs are shorter. It's an irregular imperfect natural cedar tree. Then add different colors of ornaments and it's a smash of colors that hurt my eyes. It's full of contrast. No uniformity. Husband and I already fought on this tree. He doesn't like me making any comment of what he had chosen or what is his opinion because he thinks he is always right. For him I don't have a right. I can't make any comment or make an opinion. To make our home in a silent mode better not argue. Keep being quiet. No talking. Nothing. This is the same with my kids too. We don't talk inside the house and everything's quiet and calm. He doesn't like to hear my voice but he always talk to somebody who is so "loud." Unfair? Maybe he likes to read instead. He reads my blog I think. He should read this part.

Thank God there's an internet. Thank God I have a blog. This is my voice.

Our 2016 Christmas tree. I don't like it. I think using one colored ornament is better than having too many assorted colors for decoration.


Better have that Christmas tree looks better... How about this?

Truth is a Christmas tree looks satisfying when there are gifts underneath the trunk of the tree. But it's too early to have those gift  boxes on the floor.
