Christmas Tree Hunt

This year we went to a Christmas tree farm and cut our own tree. I have wanted to do this for years and at first I was a bit disappointed. The trees to cut were not the variety I really wanted. They don't grow here, but if we had drove about an hour east or to North Carolina we could have cut our own Fraser Fir. The first few trees we looked at were sort of small and scraggly. How could all the good ones be gone when it was still Thanksgiving weekend?

We finally decided to spend a little more and found a really nice tree. It looked sort of small, but it was the best shaped one we could find. Since I had made such a fuss about cutting our own tree, Kyle was not going to let me leave with one of the Fraser Firs that were cut and brought in. I had to pick one out in the field. So I did. And Kyle cut it down. And when we got home, it was HUGE! And it had no smell. I think it was a type of Cypress. It did not lose needles which was awesome, but it didn't smell. That is one of the main reasons (for me) I like to get a fresh tree.

We have a TON of ornaments! And this wasn't all of them...There are enough for 2 large trees.
