finding the tree

My husband and I broke down years ago and purchased an artificial tree. Though it doesn't come with the charm of tradition of picking one out every year we have the convenience and guarantee that it's one we will like.

 

I loved the way Petersen Family Farm described the experience of picking out a tree. I saw this on their Facebook page and Instagram too www.instagram.com/p/B5ORww0BO0U/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

 

"Someone has already looked at your tree and decided it's too tall, too short, too full, not full enough. That's fine. It just wasn't waiting for them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It was waiting for you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

You were meant to see each other. You were meant to celebrate the holiday together, in a warm space dotted with tiny lights. When you decorate your tree, you're hanging up your family's love and memories. It doesn't feel right to do that with a stranger you've only just met. Instead, decorate with a tree that knows things you can only begin to put into words.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It has the wilderness in its slow-stirring blood. It has the sun in each needle, the winter deep in its bark. You'll know it when you see it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Come find it today."⠀

 

I wanted this to look like the tree was shining just for them. ⠀⠀
