I love the smell of fresh pine at Christmas time. I love picking out a beautiful evergreen to adorn my cozy home. None of this tramping through the crisp winter hillside searching for the perfect specimin, whilst bonding as a family. We go to a lovely parking lot tree farm to choose our tree, and it still takes me an hour to decide.
But have you ever noticed that a tree grows a foot or two once you put it up in your house?
I swear that the tree wasn't that big when I picked it out at the lot. (Doesn't it look tiny on top of the suburban?) I mean, I chose one a little on the tall side since we have high ceilings this year, but I wasn't expecting it to be taller than the 8 foot ladder. Who knew?
(sorry, no follow up pic...the camera battery died and I can't find the charger...perhaps it's in a box somewhere?)
