We have a large, beautifully decorated Leland Cypress Christmas tree in our house. Our family went out together and cut the tree on the weekend following Thanksgiving and I've been faithfully watering it ever since. It stands 9 feet tall and holds the ornaments that we've collected over the 35 years that Julia and I have been married and the ones that our two sons made through-out their childhood. This tree has colored lights strung around it and a black angel with pig-tails on top that was made by my college roommate and his wife. It represents many good memories for us but we also have one like this one pictured to the right. I think this is the one that's my favorite because it keeps things in perspective for me. And this is a time of the year when it's very easy to lose focus.How do you keep focused during the Christmas season?
