As I drive around town, I see lots full of beautifully trimmed Christmas trees. There are cars with a tree tied to the top and trucks with a tree in the back. There are trees decorated with lights and shiny ornaments in the front window of homes and the front yard. It is a magical time as we come together and celebrate, and it lifts my spirits to see everyone’s decorations.
Out at the arboretum with the image of these trees fresh in my mind, I saw a clump of moss or liverwort growing on a small branch and immediately thought it looked like the shape of a Christmas tree ready for decorating.
