Lament for a Missed Opportunity


So, so sad. It has long been one of my ambitions to relieve myself on this beautiful tree: the National Christmas Tree on the Ellipse. But look what happened during a recent wind storm.

Winds Topple National Christmas Tree

I've visited that tree a few times and always pulled to go do a 'sniff-n-lift'. But daddy would say it was too crowded and promised we would come back at a quieter time. Alas, that time never came. They say they'll plant a new one, but it might take a human generation before it reaches the majestic heights of this once regal monument.

So long, old friend.

"Winds Topple National Christmas Tree"-- potentially BSOY.

Don't worry little Tommy-- if you come live with me up here, I will buy you your own tree to do your "sniff n lift."
