Charlie and Sasha Fagan with the Seleneca Chamber of Commerce are sponsoring and being judges this year for the annual Prettiest and Ugliest Christmas Tree contest. Be sure to get your tree registered in time.  Contact  the Chamber for the submission form, so they will know to come visit your home or business.

Everyone enters the contest hoping they will win the “most beautiful” tree award. No one knows if they will get the honor of having made the “ugliest” tree.  Last year’s winner of the ugliest tree was Boden Bauer, using plant stocks from the 11 o’clock Farm.  Since the tree was made from organic material, it was shredded and composted shortly after New Year’s.  He, like many of the past winners of the tree contest said upon winning, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”

For those of you not from around here, or if its your first time here for Christmas, it is rare that anyone on the moon has a real Christmas tree, or even a nice Earthly artificial tree.  The local tradition since the early days of lunar settlement has been to fashion a Christmas tree from found or available materials.

The deadline for registration is December 17th.  The judges will be making the rounds to visit the trees on December 18th – 20th.  The winners will be announced on the Chamber’s website December 24th.

Our Code of Being

  1. Remember that everyone was born into our solar system in the same manner. Everyone must be treated equally and fairly and with the same respect.
  2. Everyone is entitled to privacy within their own personal living spaces.
  3. One individual’s dangerous behavior is a risk to the lives of all. Everyone is required to pay attention to look for signs of that risk in themselves and others.
  4. No one has the right to inflict physical or mental harm to another.
  5. Acknowledge that we humans have emotions and they trigger conflicts.  We must stay aware of our own emotions and the feelings of those around us.
  6. Everyone must accept that some humans unknowingly do things that annoy other humans.  When confronted by someone who is annoying you, acknowledge it, mention it, and if it doesn’t stop, accept it as part of who that person is.  Then declare to yourself that that is all that it is, and carry on.  
  7. Acknowledge that everyone has strengths and weaknesses and for the sake of progress, allow the collective strengths to combine to move forward.
  8. Extract positive lessons from any past negative experiences; do not let them repeat.  Coming to Seleneca is often cited as a way “to start over.” You must pack light to come here; do the same with your emotional baggage as well. 
  9. Do not attack or challenge someone’s faith or belief system because it is the same as attacking them.  One’s faith is part of his, hers, or their personal recipe for success in life.
  10. Do not use your own faith or belief system as a justification to harm others.
  11. Any perception of harm is defined by the recipient, not by the accused aggressor.  Let the judge or mediator decide on punishment or steps to resolution.
  12. Each day, do not forget to pause, look around, and marvel at the joy and accomplishments of others around you and those that came before you.
