Wishing Trees. How special.
At what time of year does one put up a Wishing Tree? You wouldn't suppose it would be about the time of year people put up Christmas Trees, would you? I can't wait to see the Dec. 26th ads Sears comes out with. Perhaps something like:
Day After Wishing Sale. 50% off on all Wish Related Items.
When I asked the sales person what the hell is up with calling them wishing trees...he said...well people wish for gifts and they get them under the tree...hence..wishing tree.
Brilliant.
I dont know when you put up a wishing tree, but my Aunt kept a Christmas tree up till Aprils once. All the balls were hanging on sticks and the needles were in the floor.
Her rug had a path across it where it was worn right down to the hardwood floor.
If she had been rich they would have called her eccentric. but she was in actuality a nut.
She died 3 days prior to her 100th birthday.
A brilliant woman in most ways.Just didnt care about her dwelling place.
