On The Level

Just a little extended family story...

A good friend and her mother would get a live tree every year. Every year the argument would begin over the straightness of the tree. It would almost come to blows and my mom or myself would often have to go around the corner to their house to assist in the straightening of the tree and the smoothing over of the arguments.

Fast forward many years. We all have families and our own tree traditions now. My mother said she was at a loss over what to get our friend as a Christmas gift. I suggested she get her a level for the Christmas tree. She found a small one that can adorn the tree as an ornament.
