Why does this tree make my daughter so happy?
Is it the presents? I’m certain it doesn’t hurt.
Or is it the promise of presents? She was excited about this tree, even when it was barren underneath for a few weeks.
Maybe it’s the ornaments? She loves turning on the lights every evening.
This decorative item full of garish flourishes should be anathema to architects, but on this we ain’t fighting the tide of culture.
