Just plain fun, buying the tree,
right from the woods, from a young man
whose cheerfulness was contagious,
whose cheerfulness was contagious,
who has a seasonal camp of sorts
by the side of the road, on the outskirts of town.
(Dziękuje, Lady Aga, for the Polish Christmas tree poem!
I added it to the journal page because it was very meaningful.)

I love Xmas trees ! and all the wonderful songs and poems that go with them. I remember the german "Ô Tannenbaum, wie treu sind deine Bläter.."
ReplyDeleteI like your way to pay a tribute to this lovely tradition!
I like the way you're sketching everyday life:)
ReplyDeleteDo you know:
Choinka proszę pana
jest chyba zaczarowana,
bo zaraz wszystko odmienia:
było szaro, a ona wchodzi do domu –
zielona i spełnia marzenia.
Choinka – niby królewna
taka zielona i srebrna,
taka czerwona i złota.
A pod nią – nasze marzenia...
:)
Your sketch of the seller and the tree is so good, did you buy it ?
ReplyDeleteI love the words..the art..the puffy red coat:) All sights I truly love..
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays to you..you bring a smile to me every time you post.
Aw, so sweet. Love it all.
ReplyDeleteYou captured the magic of getting a tree. That is how I felt on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI always love to stop at "side-of-the-road-vendors." They are earthy folks for the most part. Producing their own products and playing entrepreneurs. I've not seen one of these vendors selling trees beside the road but surely a sign of the holidays just like the pumpkins representing fall and the corn and tomatoes proclaiming summer along the roadways. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteSplendid Christmas trees. Their lovely scent, beautiful decorations. Wonderful sketches!
ReplyDeleteYou got a tree, Rita? Good for you! You must be in the spirit of the season! I bought a 2-ft-high tinsel tree -- pink! -- to brighten up my apartment. P.S. Your Christmas card is in the mail, but probably won't reach you until the 26th. Hope you have a cool yule!
