Thanks for this— I’ve been remembering the “tumbleweeds” of past Christmases a lot this year.
I remember 2 trees. First Christmas on my own, tried a fake tree but the Maine Coon Cat killed it. Last Christmas in an apartment with 11′ ceilings, we went HUGE. 10′ tall, 8′ around, tied to 2 heavy bookcases and all the ornaments I had and all the ones Sister #2 had. Took 6 hours to decorate.
My birthplace/hometown, Chandler, AZ builds an actual Tumbleweed Christmas Treeā¦ yes, out of tumbleweeds, wrapped with baling wire & Christmas lights in the downtown square.
No kidding.
It has been this way since 1956/57.

I think we are all a little like that tree, We might not be perfect but we are still loveable š
