You would think that by Valentines Day and a week into Lent that I would have my Christmas tree down and out sheltering the birds by the feeder. But no. I am very bad at giving up my Christmas tree every year. First I love my glass ornaments and this is the only time of year I get to look at them. Second it is a BIG job to pack them all away. Third it is a much bigger job to get the lights off the tree and packed away. So I am a procrastinator about this job. Besides the tree is still soft and supple not at all dry and not dropping needles any worse now than at Epiphany.
Sigh, I guess I will plan to take it down on Sunday. A good Lenten exercise in letting go.
