The Angel on the Tree
4 min readFeb 8, 2023
I’m about to take the decorations off our 2022 Christmas tree.
My husband cuts down a pine every year.
The tree gets close to the high ceiling.
Last birthday, my son gave me a baby blue budgie.
He imitates the whistles of 12 different birds.
He says hello constantly.
He chatters away when the covers are off.
I thought he might like to be in a real tree for a change.
I popped him up into the decorations.
The first time, he was fine.
