Tom Romeo: "A Christmas Tree For Sara"

"Money was tight that year. The recession had hit everyone hard, but for some reason, tree prices were ridiculously high. Perhaps the merchants could still get sixty-five bucks for a nice balsam and ninety-five for a scotch pine...but not from us. I told Sara we had to listen for the one tree that called to us and said it wanted us to take it home. I didn't tell her that it also had to say, 'I cost less than twenty dollars.'
