Today is a special day for my wife and me. We went to get a
beautiful Christmas tree at the Alameda Christian School. We
saw the advertisement in the Alameda Journal. We enjoy a 10%
discount advertised in this newspaper. It was the first time for me
to get a real Christmas tree. I am used to fake trees made from
plastic. Because fir can't grow in my country of Burkina Faso or
in Ivory Coast where I did my childhood. I was a little strange to
be in front of this real tree that I would have been very happy to
get when I was child ! To hold the tree straight in the support was
the difficult part. After that, it was playtime (of course !) We
decorated our tree with lights and ornaments. I am excited
for this Christmas season 2011!
