Dear Liza,
There is an old Irish song called ”Molly Malone” about a pretty girl who lived in Dublin. Using the same tune, here is a song for our Christmas tree for 2021.
MOLLY FROM MOLALLA
In Portland’s fair city, Where trees are so pretty
Our Molly stands out, ‘ cause she’s seven feet tall.
She grew in Molalla
Way down in the holla
And she is the loveliest tree of them all.
She came over the railing, And it was smooth sailing
She got covered with lights
And stands right by the door
She wears memories’ laces
And far away places
The beauty that cannot be had from a store.

That’s my Ode to Molly the Nordman Pine, 2021.
I hope you are enjoying your Christmas season!
Love,
Grandma Judy
