A blooming Festivus tree

I found a forsythia branch on the ground last week. Brought it in and stuck it in water. I added some fallen pine boughs from the Belmont Public Library and balsam from the forest floor of the Robert Treat Paine Estate. I decorated it with Maggie Stern's wooly and woody owls and Ellen Weiske's tin coffee spoons and Sarah Doremus' Fred Head pin and a crank toy demo, and bead flowers by Meredith Levine (wife of Ken) and a wood rabbit ornament by Lisa Dudley (sister of Rick Berlin). I never did this before, it's not a Chanukah tradition.
Today the forsythia is starting to bloom. 


Is this the true meaning of Festivus?

Happy 2013!
