I think I might keep this tree up until MLK Day this year. I’m feeling the need to extend the cheer as long as the needles hold up. By then, it’ll be two months until spring break, and then after that, maybe just a month or two until we’re vaccinated and can return to the classroom without too much trepidation. Plus, I work just about six feet from my Christmas tree. I love the soft cheerful glow when I sit down at my desk in the morning with my cup of coffee, open Microsoft Teams, and hear the first eager ping-pings as my students begin to arrive.
