Our Tree















No, your eyes are not seeing thing wrong. The tree is hung from the ceiling and it is upside down. What seems like a life time ago...the harp music takes us back...We were living in Eagle Point, Oregon and we were beyond poor. On Christmas Eve, Jeff had been at Home Depot and found this tree with all the lights and decorations, marked down, marked down to $3.00 What a deal. I was doing day care and I was worried about my little ones taking it apart. So I had Jeff hang it from a opening to the kitchen. We ran lights from the tree all the way around the room. It was perfect. The next year we came up with the crazy idea to hang it upside down....from then on we trade off each year if it is upside down or right side up. One year Jeff even rigged it to a ceiling fan and it lit up and spun. Sad to say, our poor little tree is really falling apart. I am not sure it will last another year. This little tree reminds us of the love we received from strangers, or rather, special angels that took care of our family the year we got this tree.
