"OT Christmas Tree" Ping!
Ha! That's memories - for about 4 years we cut out own trees down. One year we had a bunch of different critters file out of it and into our living room afterwards - extra excitment at no extra price!
we always get a live fir tree.
there was a great little farm near our place in michigan.
very small place, no extra hoopla, with awesome trees
for just $10 bucks a pop, you cut yourself, or a tad more
if you pick one already cut. i miss that place.
we'll have to find something like that this year.
no trees until after our december birthdays...it's the rule :)
We usually go to Han's and cut a tree. We pick a Saturday or Sunday afternoon when our grandson will be with us, and let him (with a little guidance) decide which tree. We haven't gone yet - my grandson and husband were both recovering from cold/flu/ick last weekend, so we didn't think it'd be a good idea.
Some years, I order wreaths from the Boy Scouts and have them delivered to our relatives in other states. Missed the deadline this year, though!
