The story behind it? That tree has been with us for 5 years. There was just US (Jerry and Aa)... and the tree that helped me recover from my loneliest christmas.
I was lonely cause I spent it without my family and my new family was not into christmas. Yup! For me it was really a big deal to put up the christmas tree with the whole family... In a very far place in a land with a view (wink! wink!) we use to put up our christmas tree with the whole family present and the youngest member will be held up to put the star on top of the tree.
One day, my Schatzy's godmother asked for help in her house. She lives just around the corner and we didn't have anything to do (cause we only have a bed, a fan, a table, a ref and a gas stove.) Hehehe. We helped and on our way home she told us it we like to have her old christmas tree cause she was planing to buy a bigger one. I hesitated at first because I was shy but we accepted it in the end. You see, we couldn't afford decorations by that time. But I was able tosave and buy a box of white balls and a yard of ribbon. It made me smile everyday when I wake up. A simple tree lifted my spirit and I promised myself that it will never happened again. I will never spend christmas without my family and never will I spend it alone.
