Spending time with friends and family always brings a smile to the face, no matter how hard life seems at the moment. No matter how fleeting, a smile is a smile, and has a lasting effect on the rest of the day. Glad you had a great day picking a tree, I did the same as well. Love the smell in the house now. What kind of tree did you get?

I love non traditional unique holiday families
