This spray-painted twig and string of lights is my idea of a Christmas tree that could stay all year. That cardinal on top reminds me of Ohio (state bird), feeding my seasonal nostalgia. Poet Linda Pastan echoes the mood in this morning's Writer's Almanac.

ornament,
the red cardinal
on a pine
outside
the window
is our only
decoration,
until
the snow.
