Today we will be embarking on one of the most traditional family outings of the year…
We are going to cut down our Christmas Tree!
So here’s how it’s going to go…We’ll drive to some Christmas tree farm that is way too far away. (Luckily it’s not that cold out today) Usually it’s freezing out and nine times out of ten there’s snow on the ground. Five minutes into the search mom will find one that she likes, but dad will want to keep looking…”We just started looking! Let’s see what else there is…we’ll come back to that one if we can’t find another one.” That is almost the exact conversation between the two of them…every year! So we’ll move on still looking…even though we all know that we’ll end up with the one that mom picked in the beginning. Everyone will pick out a different tree. No one will agree. An hour will go by and we still won’t have a tree picked. By this time, mom’s usually pissed off and won’t be talking to any of us. Dad will finally walk back to the tree that mom picked five minutes into the whole ordeal.
So that’s our annual tree excursion…and yes I said excursion, because there is no other way t describe it. You won’t completely understand unless you’ve actually experienced it.
Even though this might not seem like the most fun…it is! I love hanging out with my family and we always have a lot of fun!
Pictures will be coming soon
