We got an ax, trudged through the snow, and chopped down the perfect apartment-sized Christmas tree, tied to the car and brought it home today, the first errand after Stan got back Sunday from California. Well, actually we went to Target and bought a pre-wired job, wheeled it up the elevator from the garage and hooked it up in the corner. We had thrown out the old one after we had used it for 20 years, but decided we still needed a tree, so we're starting with this one. Decorations are still in the storage room... the ones that survived the move. This tree "rotates" but we don't think we'll be using that feature. Birdie, foreground, is disinterested in the whole Christmas deal.
