OH CHRISTMAS TREE

On the 11th (where did the last 10 days go!?) we got our Christmas tree. I decided sometime in June, that this year we would cut down our Christmas tree instead of going to the parking lot at the bottom of Taylor way. I figure it would be more of an "experience" and maybe even the start of a new tradition. My husband was really, really cranky about the hour and a half car ride it took to get there. Not even Neil Diamond's Christmas or the kid's fighting in the backseat could take the edge off. But despite the shaky start, I think it was a memory maker. And our Christmas tree has never smelled so lovelier!
