My father's perfect Christmas
Article Abstract:
A writer tells that his late father's favorite Christmas happened in 1940 when the latter had to haggle with a lady for the Christmas tree he wanted. Both agreed to divide the tree equally but the lady insisted she should have the fuller half. His father got the top half, a little tree, while the lady got a strange-looking bush.
