One Year Later

Can you believe it has been a year? Boy that was fast. Although we are a bit sad to see it go, it is time for the tree to come down. Will we miss it? Certainly. (However, we will not miss being mocked by our so-called "friends.") But it is time for us to get our living room back. So goodbye Holiday Tree and thank you for the simple joy you brought to our life in 2011.

Christmas

Holiday: Christmas
Date: December 25, 2011
History: This holiday is quite simple; it's the celebration of Jesus' birth. Of course, we don't really know the exact day Jesus was born, but we've been celebrating it on December 25 since the early to mid 4th century.

Interesting Fact: American mistletoe, the kind most often associated with kissing, is one of 1,300 species of mistletoe worldwide but one of only two that are native to the United States. The other is dwarf mistletoe.
