A Tree is a tree is a tree, NOT!

Before

Tree hunting is serious business.  It is a process and takes careful examination, from all angles.  That's why it was so surprising that we found a tree so quickly this year!  It maybe only took 15-20 minutes!  And it is beautiful. 

The last couple years we purchased a $10 permit to go up in the mountains to cut one.  The kids weren't too thrilled about it because the trees just aren't as lush as the ones at the u-cut farms.  But it was so fun and quite an adventure.  We just weren't prepared this year and we've had quite a bit of snow in the hills already so we just went to a local u-cut place. 

Enjoy your Christmas season and I pray that you will take LOTS of time to reflect on the real meaning of it.  And may we all be lessed consumed by the sticky fingers of consumerism.
