Oh, Christmas trees

The quintessential Methow Valley Christmas tree hunt, complete with friends, dogs and skis. Amanda sent these pictures yesterday.

And children pressed into slavery. Ha!

Nothing compares to a freshly cut Christmas tree--

Meanwhile, a very different tree at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel in downtown Seattle. We walked though the lobby to admire the decorations on the way to our concert yesterday. 

Once-upon-a-different-lifetime, I worked at a fancy flower shop called "Toppers" in the shopping arcade at this hotel. We also spent the night here after we got married in 1993. And another time, attended a heart breaking memorial service for a friend. 

Christmas is all about nostalgic memories as we age, especially missing the dear ones who are gone.

 And last but not least, our own sweet home tree.
