For those who are literal you need to understand that “trimming” means “decorating.” I think the term comes from the way in which people who used to cut their tree in the forest would then trim the branches to achieve what we consider the “Christmas tree” shape.
Flash back: This used to be a simple step. I could sit in a chair drinking hot chocolate while the children did all the work. The hardest part was recognizing when they had enough on the tree. When they were young they thought this was fun. One year they woke up and rebellion arose in the ranks. “Why do we have to do all the work?” Those were the good days.
Now: I did it all. Let my clarify that. I did not make any decisions. I just did all the moving. I put the big ones where I was told and then moved them to where I should have known they went.
It is done. The tree is up and lit.
Good job.
