oh christmas tree...


Ideally I would love to hike out into the forest and cut down my own tree...
Ideally I would love to make a day out of a Christmas tree farm, hiking through the mud and picking out the perfect tree....
Reality is my husband grew up in Central Valley California, we are lucky we get a real tree!
This year we headed down to a local lot selling lovely trees for $12. We walked around the lot looking at the trees they had out, and the huge pile of trees still wrapped up tight. We opted to gamble on our tree and picked one out of the pile still all wrapped up. It was fun when we got it home, like the anticipation of opening a present, fingers crossed that it didn't have a huge gaping hole in the side. The tree turned out to be a perfectly cute little tree, We had a warm and fuzzy evening decorating it up. Our living room looks so pretty, and smells so good.
