hen my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have threeday passes posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers.

t was Christmas Eve when I arrived, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond  her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, shining against the green of a pine.

“Where did it come from?”I asked.

“I asked the gate boy to cut it,”my mother said. “I wouldn't have had one just for myself, but when called—oh, such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon...”

he pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree

op Krystal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached about a little disorderly at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas.

“It's not like the one you used to find,”my mother went on. “Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the gate boy didn't know where to look for it. But I couldn't be critical.”
