“A sense of humor is needed armor. Joy in one’s heart and some laughter on one’s lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.” – Hugh Sidey
The Ornaments Say It All
If ever we needed a bit of laughter in our lives, it’s certainly these days. And my good friends Robert and Karla understand this quite well.
I had barely walked into their St. George, Utah, home last week, when I suddenly burst out laughing. They had already put up their Christmas tree, and it screamed Covid.
But it was still beautiful, even with its toilet paper, masks and hand sanitizer ornaments. The icing was the toilet paper garland that had been carefully wrapped around the tree.
The next three days at their home was full of love with enough laughter to make my whole outlook on life brighter — and a much needed, break for me from the chaos of today’s world.

Is it okay to reblog?
Of course, and thanks for doing so.
That is so funny!! I love that idea!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Glad you got a laugh. As a struggling teacher in the covid age, I know you need lots of laughs. Love you.
[…] tree, but WordPress is not cooperating with me. I copy/pasted it here, but do go and check out Pat Bean’s blog! I wonder how many Covid trees are out there and what other novel ideas people are coming up […]
I couldn’t reblog because this goes to an old site that is private. Instead, I copied and pasted it…that seemed to do the trick.
Saw this r on Margaret’s blog. Love this tree. Very funny.
