Amish Christmas Tree
Why can’t we have a Christmas tree? That is not for Our People, Mom explains. I beg until she cuts a tree from cardboard, Spray painting it gold. We cut up Hallmark cards, Decorating its boughs. Together. * Author Note: I would like to wish Fevers of the Mind Readers a happy holiday season & 2023 from Detroit! It has been an honor to have been a Wolfpack contributor this year and publish new and old works at FeversoftheMind.com. Thank you David L. O'Nan!
