…and then came the package!! Big, mysterious… Closed!! Well…to be honest, who would want a package to arrive open, right? No, it came properly, the next day from ordering, as promised. And very competently, it opened the door of the building on its own, which by the way for about a week would not open not even when you had a key (which I doubt the package had!!!), took the lift up and then waited patiently by the flat’s door for me to arrive from work and bring it home…
What more could anyone ask from a Christmas tree???!! Not much! Oh, yes, I did not mention that… the package contained the tree. Bought online, mind you, the wonderful world of digital shopping! Though seriously tempted to spend the money on the cutest pair of red patent leather ballerinas, I resisted and instead ordered a state of the art (and extremely difficult to assemble as was realised a bit late) Christmas tree ☺
And very well I did! Because, indeed, though perhaps only around this time every year, a Christmas tree IS better than shoes! It sparkles and shines and fills up the room and brings back the memories of Christmases past and presents received and kisses given and this feeling of being a child again! A warm feeling that everything will be ok merely because it’s Christmas! Not to mention that it hides the remaining boxes, still residing in my living room after the recent removal… but, ok, maybe that does not apply to you all…
So, in case you don’t have a Christmas tree yet, my advise is: get one! And get lots of lights and ornaments and packages with presents to put underneath and then just seat in the dark and enjoy its company with a glass of wine…
Ps. …and as for those of you who don’t like neither Christmas nor Christmas trees… I have one word: Scrooge! But… may you have people to love you just as you are ☺
