Hey Mark! Wonderful piece of writing! Very inspirational. We unfortunately don’t cut ours down but we do have a tradition that we started the year we were married. We go to this farm in Lexington MA and pick out a fresh tree. Then we go to the little shop on the farm and buy an ornament. Riley and Mary love going and having hot apple cider and warm apple cider donuts. I guess we all have our own little traditions that mean so much this time of year. I hope you, the kids have a wonderful holiday season! L-Teri

Mark. Your writing creates such great imagery and tells so much about what the writer holds dear. Megan is growing up to be such a beautiful young lady. What memories you have created for your family! As for us when the children were single we all trucked ourselves to a tree farm in Guilford to cut down our own tree and the wagon would drive us back to have the tree netted. Up on the roof of the car it would go tied down with rope and bunjy cords. Today Cara and Jeff are continuing the traditions with their own families and we are not putting up a tree because it’s the in-laws turn for the holidays and we will be leaving Dec.26th to return to FL. The lights on the deck and outside look beautiful and gives us the holiday feeling. Jeff & Griffin are coming down Fri (Sarah & Meredith are away) and Cara and Kennedy with us Old Folks will go to the lighting of the Christmas Tree on the Guilford Green Friday Evening. Families change as we all grow older but it gives us time to make more memories. Love to you and yours over the Holidays. We may see you at your Parents Christmas Day! xoxo, Corinne & Brud
