O Tannenbaum
We're going to be out of town for Christmas this year (Montana in 11 sleeps!) so we decided to get a small tree to celebrate the season and mark Sam's first holiday with a bit of tradition and decoration. Usually we cut our own tree, but being a little late in the month for that endeavor, we drove out to Linder's to check out the pre-cut selection. Come to find out, Linder's doesn't carry a selection of the Charlie Brown variety, but they do have a nice little Econo Lot with some lovely Balsams each marked with a $37.99 price tag. Immediately, I found a handful of trees suitable for our purpose, but Dave fell in love with one in particular. A natural Balsam eleven feet tall. Just like that we went from small to the biggest tree we've ever had. This reminds me of two things I've learned about marriage: You can't really plan anything and often that's the best way to go.

Yay, 11 sleeps! I'd like to see some photos of that monster tree.
We've done this before. We head out to get a small tree, come home with a large one. The big ones just seem better I guess. 11 days of Christmas fun at home before your big trip. It's worth it, having the big tree I think. You'll get a way lot of enjoyment out of it.
I spent years being a scrooge, but now I like the holiday. You need a big tree!!
I want to see a picture of Sam and the new tree... please.
Yes! Big trees rule!
The three had to lose a foot or two in order to fit in the house, but it looks lovely. I'll post a picture after we decorate it.
Tree.
