What is your favorite Christmas tree? We usually get a fresh one. In my opinion there are three elements that go into choosing a Christmas tree, #1 is price, #2 is the look, and #3 is the smell. I am always in a state of confustion when choosing a tree, because I really like the look of the Nobel trees, but because of supply and demand - they tend to be more expensive, also I don't like the way they smell. They aren't as sweet as your Douglas fir. So this year we went on a hunt for the perfect Christmas tree at a local tree farm in La Center. I didn't have to make a decision, this year. We ended up with a tree the kids had chosen. The bonus was we didn't have to do anything, it was was great. The kids sawed it down, and carried it to the car. Spencer made jokes as he carried the tree, acting like he just hunted his trophy elk or deer. He said as we walked to the car, "this is my trophy tree, yea, it's about 100,000 needle pointer. She was fast, but we got her with 4 saws." It was funny. The local tree farm offered hot chocolate, cookies, and a Christmas movie. We lingered around for a while.

Looks like a good choice! Pretty!
That is a beautiful tree. You have to post pictures when it's all decorated. I love that you all go out together and cut it down. That's so cool. We just have a lame fake tree. But I don't have to water or clean up after it.
Can't wait to see it all decorated. Love Grammy
