Under the Christmas Tree

Under the Christmas Tree is that one moment when Christmas changes from childhood to adulthood. You never seem to forget that Christmas. For me it was the first Christmas after my grandfather passed, No decoration could be found and no one was smiling not even a mouse.  Well, that was until my cousin and I decided we were going to put up the tree.  This was no small tree this was a 1970  artificial white 12-foot tree. Now we were just barely in middle school. We were just about to get the top part of the tree on and it came falling over and landed with us underneath.  All you could see were legs and feet. All of a sudden house was filled with an unforgettable laugh floating down the stairs. It made us laugh too. Soon the house was full of that silly kinda laugh you just can't stop. My Grandma got tickled every time she told that story.
