Tradition

I always want a tree for Christmas. It's late but we finally got it, from a nonprofit cafe that doubles as an indoor gym for little kids. Since most tree sellers subsidize some nonprofit, this seemed better than the boy scouts.

We went on to prepare for the neighborhood Soup potluck, which was fun as always. However, we spent a good bit of time discussing gun control, given that the President just spoke at the prayer vigil at Newtown.

Community starts with the family and moves out to the neighborhood. Connection is the only way to save the world.
