The storage building here at the condos is being renovated and someone found a Christmas Tree. It had been severely squashed and was pretty dusty and dirty. Although the screws in the stand were rusty we managed to get it standing . The top section had to be supported in order to get it be straight. When we got it assembled it looked pretty sparse. However, several of the ladies began to work some Christmas magic. They found some old lights, garland, and went to town and bought a few ornaments.
We took the computer to the Palapa and hooked up a pair of small speakers I had packed in my suitcase. We pulled up the radio station on the computer from Arkansas that plays continuous Christmas music and gives weather forecasts of cold and blustery conditions.
By the time the ladies had finished with the tree, and we had consumed several Belikin beers, everyone was joining in with the Christmas carols and we had a beautiful Christmas Tree.
It doesn’t take much to make a Merry Christmas.
