Even the box I keep my ornaments in was made in China. I liked it for its Victorian theme when I got it. Everything that was Chirstmas used to be made in America. I wonder how many people are thinking about that? Besides me.
I got my tree, a Douglas Fir — beautiful.
I’m going to decorate it. I’m remembering Christmas past right now — happy ones.
Trying to keep going even when under so much stress it is impossible to do so.
I think the whole country feels like that right now, I really do. Except maybe the 1 percent who don’t.
