Christmas Traditions




Each year we get our tree at the Boyd family farm the day after Thanksgiving. This has been a ten year tradition for 08'. They have the best and ;( most expensive trees anywhere around NC!
We said we'd go go smaller this year, but after viewing the photos and after putting the tree up for decorating, I think a foot smaller than last year does not constitute small. It's so hard to scale down after big for so many years! We see, we want!

I always complain about the size because of the work invovled. Afterwards, when all the lights and decorations are up (which is usually done in stages over a 3-4 day period)
it really makes it all worthwhile. We just can't stop saying how beautiful it is as we pass it. Jeepers!!! Just look at the base on that thing! It definitely was a group effort getting this home. The best part was it going straight up in the stand without any adjustments. That's pretty good considering one year it fell over!
