You mean y'all buy trees?!?
I'd never have thought it.
My Dad and I would take the old pickup, him driving, me with a bow saw, drive out in the country (I'd been spotting trees for weeks, one year I actually visited the chosen one, and trimmed it to shape monthly), he'd drop me off, while he'd go drive around a bit, I'd run, cut the tree down, run back to the road and hide behind it, when it was clear, he'd pull up, I'd toss it in the back and away we'd go. It's a family tradition.
<wistful sigh> Those were the good ol' days... even if it was only a cedar tree that most folk would pay to have cut down and hauled off.
An artificial one.... but it isn't the same.
Here's wishing all y'all a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy, Peaceful, and Prosperous New Year!
