A Christmas Parade and a Man’s Woodcutting Trick
A humorous essay recalls dodging crowds at a Christmas parade and cutting down a tree in the front yard to avoid the parade crush. The narrator narrates the plan to fell a sycamore with his son and son-in-law, the mishaps with a neighbor’s sapling, and the parade-day sequence ending with a family returning from a turkey dessert. The piece ends with a plan to repeat the trick next year and a wish for guidance on killing a maple tree by next Thanksgiving.
