There once was a pretty little Christmas tree in a pretty little yellow house
And the little tree was happy.
The little tree was also cute and practical ... and portable
 |
| have tree, will travel |
And then there was a pretty little tree in a pretty round house
 |
| Hello, Kitty! |
And the little tree was happy.
Then the little, portable, happy tree moved to the beach! Who wouldn't love the beach?
 |
| We have a piper down! I repeat, the piper is down." |
Meanwhile, back at the castle...
 |
| Construction was underway, with close supervision |
Our village was a little smaller this year, but change is good!
 |
| looking promising, kids! And those jammies are winning |
Let's see the other side, shall we?
 |
| why so glum? |
2 minutes later....
 |
| Oh dear |
Well, let's see how the tree made out
 |
| A pretty little tree in a pretty little room, fulfilling its Christmas destiny |
And then the pretty little tree went on the move one last time (because I always change rooms. always.) and having fulfilled its destiny, the little tree lost its lustre, and its balance, and its gumption.
 |
| but the little tree maintained its charm right up til the bitter end, when it was unceremoniously abandoned on a beachfront balcony |
The End.

Wow, what an adventurous tale of an adventurous tree! The quintessential Quest story: our hero has a task to undertake, faces many hurdles and obstacles along the way, gets help from others but ultimately has to go it alone, finally finds success and fulfills its mission . . .
. . . and gets unceremoniously abandoned on a beachfront balcony at the end.
Perfection.
A ready-to-publish children's book. Complete with photos.
Love!!

Unbelievably, that little tree had yet another home that wasn't captured in this post. Although I think it was ornament-less during its very brief tenure here in the cave. That tree definitely served its purpose.
The gingerbread house? Hmm, not so sure.
Way to navigate the change, J!
