We woke to cold, crisp skies on what might be our favorite family holiday, National Swearing Day, the day after Thanksgiving and when we get our Christmas tree. Dwayne and Wes are Team Big Tree and Kyla and I are on the losing Team Reasonable Tree. I suspect Piper will always support her father’s team.
After a few years of having to go to multiple lots (or 50 miles) to find our tree, I stood by the first tall tree at the first farm we went to this morning and watched the others reject several trees before coming back to the first one.
Kyla and Dwayne did the hard parts of the job, while I just made sure the mistletoe worked.
A 10-11′ tree is not easy to set up or decorate, and it took all five of us a few hours to get this one ready for its 6-week visit. I’m particularly taken with the owl vibe, as no one really needs an angel with a stick up her, well, you know.
Merry Christmas, Everyone! The season begins in earnest.
