Also, we will recycle our tree at a local, historic plantation. I am looking forward to finding out how they repurpose the trees.

What a sweet, sensitive, little girl--but really, a realistic reaction! Too many times, we don't see the world through a child's eyes, until we get to experience it first-hand! Thanks for sharing! I'm sure you'll find a way to recycle the tree into another use after New Year's--perhaps as home/shelter for animals; strung with popcorn, etc. for birds; or recycled into another use?

I'm sure Annabelle's look of worry will be replaced with a smile when it's up and decorated. How fun! I’m sure Annabelle’s look of worry will be replaced with a smile when it’s up and decorated.
