Every year, we have gone to Stiles' Christmas tree farm, which is located about 5 miles up the road from our house. It's been around for as long as I can remember and probably many years before that.
This is pretty close to just walking into the wilderness and cutting a tree.
The trees are not cookie cutters, they are wild and you really have to work at finding "The One".
Great backdrop for tree hunting....don't you think?
The hardest part is you find one that is looking good, then walk around it and find it has a little brother growing right beside it. Some can be very deceiving.
We need a tree about 10 feet tall, and most of the time we have cut trees about 3 feet up from the ground. It takes a little time, but things that are worth it, usually take time and effort.
We always find one and this is Christmas Tree 2009. As I type this the kids are just finished with the last of the ornaments and we are settling in for some nice turkey soup from the leftover bird Mom dropped off yesterday. Still enjoying the fruits of Thanksgiving. A nice way to ease into the Christmas season.
