Still no tree, but there's an on-line Christmas-tree finder. If only there were a real-life Christmas-tree bringer. We have not a sprig of greenery yet. It was disgusting to read that putting one up grows less and less common and that, among decorated trees, fewer than forty per cent are live. What's the point, without the scent? This has been the very worst year ever for finding the time to do anything that's fun; it has all been duty and worse.
