Little known fact–you heard it here. If a person decorates a tree and stands back to admire it and another person comes in and looks at it and laughs, if the first person says, “[insert name of grandchild] helped me decorate it,” right away he–I mean the second person–is all, “Awwwwwww….”

This is my Christmas tree this year. I bought it at the Salvation Army because I couldn’t find one anywhere else. It even came with some of its decorations already on. That massively out-of-proportion bird at the bottom, for example, which I love. I think maybe it’s supposed to be a partridge, but I could be wrong.

A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: What is in that tree?
