Will there be a part 4?  You’ll have to come back and see.

Growing up we always got the Christmas tree put up and decorated on my Mom’s birthday, Dec 12th.  I thought that was a neat way to spend your birthday.  She seemed to enjoy it.

Forest was born Dec 7th.  I don’t remember at what point we decided to adopt the tradition but for several years our family has put up and decorated our tree on his birthday.  He enjoys it very much.  The last couple of years I’ve asked him to be sure that’s what he wants and he enthusiastically says that he does.  I hope that he continues to like this tradition for many more years to come.
