The Christmas Tree

I knew it was going to be a good day when on my way to work "Meet Virginia" came on the radio. I like that song.

Haven't been able to sleep lately. I just want one good nights sleep!

When I was in high school I had a teacher, Mrs. B, who talked about how she wanted a real christmas tree, not an artificial one. She seemed genuinely upset, and disappointed about not having a real x-mas tree.......but her husband wouldn't allow her to buy a real one because he had already bought, and put up an artificial tree. My friends Lisa, John, Mike and I decided that if Mrs. B wanted a real tree, then she would have one....and we'd get it for her!
So we did get her one....and we took it to her house,took down the fake, and put up the real tree for her..I remember her laughing, and clapping and being so excited about us bringing her the real tree..........now.......jump ahead 20t years..........my son's u.s. history class...same teacher that my friends and I brought the tree too......she finds out danny is my son and she tells him about the christmas tree.(I had forgotten about it)..and my son tells me that she giggled the whole time she was telling him the story........then she tells him she has worried all these years that maybe we had stolen the tree................I put her worries to rest......but in all honesty, I can't remember where we got the darn tree.
