Chamber Singers Relaxation Exercise Vignette February 6

Perambulating in a pine forest near your log cabin, you happen upon the perfect Christmas tree. Overwhelmed with the intoxicating scent of a pine grove and hearing the snow crunch beneath your feet, you approach the tree. With an axe you’ve brought, you cut it down near the roots. You pick up the tree, walk it back to your red Jeep Cherokee, strapping it to the top of your mean red machine. [Now imagine] that you are in your living room of wood walls and red couches. You're looking at your tree. It's lighted now and ornamented; however it's missing one thing. It's missing its star. Reaching high to the tree’s top, you place the lighted angel on the top of the tree. As you feel the warmth of your home, the smell of the pine mingled with the fragrance of a Yankee candle sweet strawberry tart, you sigh with a feeling of domestic tranquility.
