Happy New Year
Almost. The town was bustling with shoppers late this afternoon as the sun suddenly dipped below the horizon. We have such a beautiful tree in the center of Princeton, bedecked with more colorful lights than I'd care to count in a day: a proud permanent tree, greeting the town shoppers long after the holidays are over. In the summer, children and dogs run merrily around, cool in its long shadow. You could come, sit on a nearby bench, and read Maddalena.
Wouldn't it be nice if fir trees weren't grown to such a short, glamorous life, ending in a tall pile of recycling trash. All the wonderful, big trees, like the one that sparkles in the Rockefeller Center in New York? I'd like that.
We've had holidays when I decorated our palm tree in the middle of our living room, soon to be 35 years old, instead of a traditional Christmas tree. And you know what? All the wishes I made by that tree came true.
May all your wishes come true in the lucky year 2007!
