CHRISTmas Tree Tradition







We love the CHRISTmas season in our house. In fact, CHRISTmas season officially starts for us about November 1 when Stacy breaks out the CHRISTmas music. One tradition that Stacy and I started while we lived in Utah was to get a CHRISTmas Tree permit, take off in the Bronco (the only time of the year she would be seen in it) and go CHRISTmas tree hunting in the local mountains. We certainly had some good times :) Living in the State of Commiefornia, where the trees have more rights than the humans, the only place we can get a fresh cut CHRISTmas is in a CHRISTmas Tree farm. So, we take what we can get! Last Saturday, we headed up to Tehachapi, which is a little mountain town in the foothills of the Sierras, and hunted a CHRISTmas Tree. We had a great time, although it was pretty chilly. We picked a nice tree, which turned out to be terribly lopsided. We stuffed it inside the Yukon and headed home. On Sunday evening, we broke out the CHRISTmas decorations and made our house nice and festive. Enjoy the pics and enjoy the CHRISTmas season.
