So last Sunday we went to the Christmas tree farm to get a tree. Buying a tree from the tree farm was my true intention. I figured since it's a farm and that's the source of the tree, it would be less expensive. Right? That would be a big fat WRONG. Can you imagine my surprise (shock) when I saw that a 6-foot tree was $70? Needless the say I decided right there that we were going to Home Depot to pick out a tree. But not not without taking some pictures. By the way, the tree at Home Depot was almost half the price.
I love the memories of my dad cutting down our Christmas tree and my mom, brother, and I waiting for the tree to fall. The three of us had the job of catching the tree. We brought our shoes that we did not mind getting muddy. Sipping hot cider or cocoa. The smell is wonderful and the tree is so fresh. If Mike can handle that I think your family should try cutting your own tree. I know it's more expensive, but the memories will last a life time.
