O Tannenbaum

Today is the first day in November that we're not supposed to get any rain at all. So, TJ and I took a break from rearranging the condo to go for a little lunch and a walk. We headed down to Pioneer Square to see how they're doing on Portland's big Christmas Tree.

O Christmas Tree O, Christmas Tree, Your branches green delight us.

I never knew this until I saw them putting the tree up a couple of years ago, but they actually take off all the branches and reattach them so it looks pretty and they're strong and don't break off.

Going Up!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, You give us so much pleasure!

How oft at Christmas tide the sight,O green fir tree, gives us d'light! O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree, You give us so much pleasure!
