A New Tradition

The Author of this post is Solomon Dejesus

This year will be my first year buying a Christmas tree on my own.

In the middle of summer, I moved a few states away from my parents and, since I can't afford to get back there this Christmas, I will be spending the holiday by myself.

I have never been without a Christmas tree, however, and I am not going without one this year, either. So, I have made plans to go out tree shopping, once the Thanksgiving holiday has passed.

A friend told me of a place to pick one up, if I want to do a live tree. I am not sure if I will do that, yet. Having a small artificial tree has advantages, especially when one lives alone. I could get one of those that already has the lights hooked up; all you have to do is plug it in and turn it on.

There are a few places around here that sell both live and artificial ones, so I guess I will just have to set myHome Security Systems and go look at all of them.

It'll be a little different for me this year, but maybe I start traditions of my own by inviting friends over to decorate.

That way, even if it is different, it will still be a great Christmas holiday.
