#PPT December 1

We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.

Throughout December 2024, several of us are taking part in the 30-Day PPT Coach4aday Challenge. PPT is an acronym for People Places or Things. Each day we share our insights, thoughts, or memories about a person (living or dead), a place (we have visited or learned about) or a thing that intrigues us. Today I am going to about the personal tradition of a Christmas Tree.

For this challenge, I’m taking the liberty of revisiting some of the nearly 4,000 posts I’ve written since January 1, 2014. Of those, over 1,700 have focused on various aspects of 30-Day Challenges over the past five years. The majority of my earlier writing, however, predates the time when Jeff Neelon, Jaclyn Donovan, and I began undertaking these monthly exercises. Sometimes revisiting what you have written can bring deliver perspective on how you have evolved both as a person and writer.

For December 1st it is on a thing -which is the changes to the tradition of a Christmas Tree at our house.

  2. Share at least one fact, memory, or quality about your subject choice.

December 1st-Christmas Tree-Keith Taylor

Today is the Sunday after Thanksgiving and this weekend traditional means getting our Christmas Tree up and home decorated. We have for most of our married lives had a live Fraser Fir Tree in our home. Beginning in 1999 up until 2020 we would purchase an 11-foot tree from Green State Landscaping and Nursery. Keith Taylor and his family the owners always treated us fantastic but in 2021 we decided to go the artificial tree route.

Here is a link to the blog post I wrote November 26, 2015, about Keith, his sister Myra, and Christmas Trees.
