even in winter is thy prime

"The fir tree has a long association with Christianity, it began in Germany almost 1,000 years ago when St Boniface, who converted the German people to Christianity, was said to have come across a group of pagans worshipping an oak tree. In anger, St Boniface is said to have cut down the oak tree and to his amazement a young fir tree sprung up from the roots of the oak tree. St Boniface took this as a sign of the Christian faith. But it was not until the 16th century that fir trees were brought indoors at Christmas time." (www.christmas-tree.com/where.html)

"O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree!

"...Not only in the summertime,    

But even in winter is thy prime.   

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,    

How are thy leaves so verdant!...     

...For every year the Christmas tree,    

Brings to us all both joy and glee.    

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,    

Much pleasure doth thou bring me!...     

...Each bough doth hold its tiny light,    

That makes each toy to sparkle bright.     

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,       

Thy candles shine out brightly!"  

let me fall

Seeing these leaves I feel that they're asking to be let go of. Fall is a time of rest. So let fall come and "let me fall".

"let me feel

i don't care if i break down

let me fall

even if i hit the ground

and if i cry a little

and die a little

at least i know i lived

just a little

let me feel

let me fall"

This Thanksgiving I went to my mom's cousin's house, where I got to spend time with their cute daughter!

Thanksgiving is a time to spend with family and remember what you're truly thankful for in life! Remember that family is always there for you, no matter what time of year!

Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving weekend!
