Renee, I'm glad to hear you have made new friends. And I'm glad to hear here that it's not about the tree! although I do love a Christmas tree. But yes, Eagle, it can be an onerous task! I broke 2 ornaments that are over 50 years old and made it through numerous moves, floods, earthquakes, etc. and they get to me and on my tree and they break. They were the first ornaments I recall seeing at age 3-5. My mom was pointing to each one on the little tiny tree. "You like this one? It's a house." "And this one looks like a strawberry!" And I finally get them, and 2 break! And they've been through it all! Best I leave them in the box next year.
