As a young man, JP spent his summers working at a fruit & flower stand and his winters working at a Christmas tree lot. Every year when we choose our tree, he knows exactly what he's looking for, and he's always right.  Each year we say "this is the best tree yet."   

"Make it simple, but significant."  - Don Draper
