i spent sunday evening building my grandmother’s artificial christmas tree, a $30 metal and plastic “fir” from kmart. that would be a rather normal sentence if it weren’t for the fact that my grandmother owns a christmas tree farm in new york.
“This business does not pass easily from one generation to another. You have to have it in your blood.”
this made me sad.
