"Spring" Christmas Tree

When driving by our home December through January, you could see white lights on the deck and porch railings and the old "bottle-brush" Christmas tree from the telephone office in our chilly porch.

But from one seat in the family room we could enjoy two Christmas trees at once.

Having needed eye-glasses since grade-school, I cannot remember a Christmas without the colorful, overlapping balls of light when I take my glasses off. 

But this year's tree was unique in that it "thought" it was spring indoors and started growing by New Year's! 

A few years we have had trees cut from our place bud indoors, but never grow this many inches! 

We enjoyed our fragrant, growing Christmas tree into February before "planting" it in a snowbank out front. Now we are enjoying it covered with snow.
