Picking Out Our Christmas Tree
Posted on December 11, 2008 – 5:15 pm by admin
The time has come again. Time to get into the car and drive over to that place we saw on the side of the road that sells Christmas trees. Time to pick out and beauty and strap that beauty to the top of the car.
I really wanted to go cut down our own Christmas tree this year, but time didn’t permit. I am not sure anything would beat the last time we cut our own tree anyway. We had such a good time. I guess we are going to have to take a few more road trips around this area to see what’s out there. I did get some good advice about where to get a tree, but that advice has to be put on the shelf.
It has been raining for about three days, so I am not really sure why today had to be the day to go up the road and pick out a Christmas tree. I was informed that today was, in fact, the day, so I got up and did my duty. Just in case you were wondering what our little adventure looked like, I happily took some pictures. Did you expect anything less?
Looking at the Christmas tree selection.
The place we went to had a nice fireplace inside.

Tree tied to the top of the car.
Tree set up in the living room. Simon is inspecting it.
Well, that’s it. The tree is set up. All done.
Oh, haha. I think we are going to decorate it tonight.
To get the ball rolling, I suggested that Laura make some hot chocolate and turn on some Christmas music. After I said that, I got a look. Okay, to be fair, I suggested that she do those things after she decorates the tree. After I said that, I got an elbow to the chest and a broken pinky.
After thinking about it, I decided that maybe I will turn on the Christmas music and help make the hot chocolate. Then, I will help decorate the tree. When that’s done, we can wrestle and call it a day.
I will post more pics tonight after the lights are on.
