I love Kevin's tree ... small, but sincere ...
It reminds me of one of my favorite Christmas memories, but the story is SO too-long for a punch line that would cause everyone to say 'huh?' and would leave me with a final response that 'I guess you had to be there' ...
so, I'll not cause a diversion to Peck's thread but just say it's a warm memory for me, so thanks, Kevin ...
