Yesterday I went out into the frozen tundra of Climax Michigan to cut down my own Christmas Tree. I have never done anything like this before, and it was awesome.
We decided that we would go for a Blue Spruce tree, we both like the color, the number of needles per branch and the smell. Since we are going to Pennsylvania for Christmas we thought it was not to early to have and enjoy a fresh tree. I am quite excited, we decided to rearrange the furniture in the basement room were we spend 90% of our at home time, and put it in the corner so we are facing it when we are looking at the TV.
Cutting down a tree is fun, basically because all I had to do was pick out the tree, and stand around looking cute while my Sweetie cut the tree, and the owner came in a tractor to haul us and the tree to the cleaning and payment area. Once the tree is cut they square off the bottom cut, trim any branches so you can put it in the holder, and then they hoist it up on a string to blow any dead leaves, small animals and dirt off. Then the tree is put through a machine that wraps it in a net and off you go.
Although I am not a country girl, the hot coco, cookies and the smell of the fresh cut tree made me happy to live near a place where for $35 you can buy a bit of American Christmas Lore.
