Fond memory of Christmases past

Nice article on the Christmas trees [“That One, Daddy!” Nov. 30]. Reminded me of when I was a kid and my dad took me and my two brothers out to find one up in the forests in eastern Oregon.

But there’s a big difference between there and the article Jay Jones wrote. Up there, there’s lots of snow, and it’s deep. It was always a struggle to drag the tree back to the car, but it sure smelled great once we got it home.

Anyway, I know this’ll bring back a lot of good memories for my father too, so I am clipping it and sending it along in my next letter to him.
