Madeline's Charlie Brown Tree

So the story goes, as we went this evening to pick out our Christmas tree, Madeline was walking with her grandparents, and decided to pick up a tree the size of her and truck it around. The Tree selling man took Madeline over and made her a little tree she could take home for free.

It was a pathetic little thing, but she loved it instantly. Now that it is decorated and in her bedroom, I have to tell you, with the "Poor Little Christmas Tree" song playing on the radio, I was almost moved to tears.

Her tree, even if it is only a cutting pushed into a bit of a stump, is gorgeous, and really has brought out the Chrismas Spirit in our house.

Note: Once our branches have settled on our tree and it is decorated I will post pictures. It's very pretty too, but I think it just might pale in comparison to Madeline's Charlie Brown Tree. It just looks so proud to be lighting up a little part of a five year old's childhood.
