Did you ever have a one-sided Christmas tree?

We did. When we lived in Maine, Phil and the older kids would top a tree in the neighbors tree lot – one year it was 20 below in early December and they didn’t look as long as usual for the ‘perfect tree’ – they cut one about 5 feet up and when it fell, the branches broke when it hit the ground. The kids were cold so Phil brought it home, over the neighbors objection. He said if I disapproved, the men would go back without the kids. I said it was too damn cold and memories like that are what Christmas is made of. Plus, it fit flat against the wall…
