    100 Word Challenge Part II

     
    It all started with Velvet Verbosity and her 100 word challenge on 'Christmas Spirit'. Now it has passed to Woman Remodeled, who has chosen for her 100 word challenge - Holiday Nostalgia.
     
    I tried to write this out as a simple story, but once again I seem to have gotten myself stuck in one of those Rhyme-Time cycles. Hopefully it will clear with a dose of Motrin or a silver bullet.
     
     
    100 Words On Holiday Nostalgia – Oh Christmas Tree
     
     
    I think that I shall never see
    A Christmas like when I was wee,
    Mother and father would fight all night long
    To stand right the tree, whose base was all wrong.
     
    No matter the time spent looking over the crop
    To find the best tree at the Christmas tree shop,
    Once it was picked and in our abode
    All the fun for my parents seemed to erode.
     
    Cutting, chopping and sawing at it
    They’d curse up a storm, so mad they could spit,
    Today looking back, we all laugh with delight
    Thinking of those long ago Christmas Eve nights.

    I've never enjoyed getting the tree to be straight.
     
    As for Kelly on my bed--she had called earlier that day wanting to stop by and talk.  I said yes--I really do hate conflict.

    Ahh, the legacy of memories we leave for our children.  In a lot of ways I'm glad Bryan has allergic reactions to real Christmas trees and we have to *make do* with the fake ones.  Next year, I think we'll splurge on a pre-lit too.
