Christmas in April

[pianolady50 at peoplepc.com]

Got me thinking about this.  Maybe they've moved?

This story was written by a couple in Clearwater, FL. I take no credit for 
any portion and I am retyping this as it appeared in our local paper in 
1991.

*************************************

"Our remarkable, amazing pine tree is still going strong and heading for its 
10th Christmas with us! My husband and I purchased a pine tree from 
Michigan, the Christmas of 1981. We decorated it, and enjoyed our tree. The 
only thing that was different about this tree, was that after a few weeks it 
remained pretty, full, olive green and did not lose its needles!

The weeks went into months and still, this unbelievable tree was beautiful. 
Yes, year after Christmas year this amazing tree has graced our living room.

This coming Christmas, our pine tree will be with us for its 10th year, 
green, decorated, lights and beautiful as always. It drinks a lot of water - 
oh yes, it has no soil, no roots and just refuses to die.

So many people have seen it through the years and feel as we do, that is 
(sic) is a "miracle of God" and a sign and symbol of eternal life, which is 
the real and true meaning of Christmas.

We really think that you would be happy to know that our (God's) "miracle 
tree" is still alive for this Christmas, and the New Year 1991. May you all 
have many "miracles", and a blessed Christmas and new year."
