Choosing "The One"

It's a big deal...

Choosing the perfect Christmas tree is a very important event.

This tree will live in our home and become a part of our Christmas festivities.

It will host all of our presents with care.

It will scent our home for the whole month.

It will create a special ambiance throughout the entire Christmas season.

Yes, this is a very important event.

This is our 3rd Christmas as husband and wife. We go to the same place every year to buy our Christmas tree. It’s a little ma and pop shop… right in the front yard of their house. They are so helpful, so cheerful, and so perfect for our Christmas tradition.

Every year is exactly the same… On the Saturday after Thanksgiving (this post is a bit late) we go out to eat and then head to our tree destination.

We look through all the trees to find the one that will come home with us.

We are not looking for the biggest tree or the most symmetrical tree- but for the tree with the most personality. I know I’m nuts, but I feel like our little tree calls out to us and beckons us to take him home.

Most of the time, the tree we pick has interesting dents or lumps, but by the time we get it home and decorated, it looks perfect to us.

Welcome home little tree!
