Tumblin' Christmas Tree!
by Lori
I was out on my own and working, and decided that my mom, dad, and brothers and sisters still at home should have a real tree instead of the artificial silver tree ("Artie") we had put up every year for as long as I could remember. A lady I worked with gave me a tree already in a stand, that was too small for the size of her living room, but just right for my parents' house. Her son put the tree into the trunk of my car, and off I went to surprise the family. As I turned a corner, I heard a 'thump' and in the rearview mirror could see the tree - stand and all - bouncing down the road behind me. I pulled over expecting the worst, but instead saw a very cute guy walking to my car with the tree! He had witnessed the tree trying to make its escape, and stopped his pickup truck and saved the day. The stand was a little bent, but OK. My family liked the tree too. Was I lucky or what? |
