Christmas Tree

Went out last night to look at Christmas trees. My son found one he liked and refused to look at others. He even named the tree. :duh: While the rest of us looked them all over, he was not willing to look at others. I finally came over to him and he had his jacket on the tree. I am like, what are you doing? Hiding? He said the tree was cold. The trees name was Skippy.

Needless to say, We brought Skippy home. Next time, kids stay home when I go tree hunting. :smile:

Aww, that is sweet! Was Skippy a nice tree, or one of those Charlie Brown specials? When the lot attendant saw how much your kid liked the tree, did the price suddenly double? :cheesy:

Skippy was a nice tree. There were some that was a tad bit fuller but I went with Skippy because his heart was set on it. As far as the price was concerned. 45 bucks. We bought it at the SYB Optimist stand in Lusby. I have cut 6" from Skippy and trimmed a few lower branches and now he sits in a big bucket of water outside for a day or two. Then we will bring him inside to decorate.

Cool story Baswm, sometimes it's easy to get caught up in all the :bs: of Christmas and forget the simple joys our kids find obvious.

Thanks for sharing that.

I'm 25 and soooo POed at my mom for getting a fake tree it's unreal. We had real trees when my brother and I were little. Then when we were teenagers she bought a fake tree. Then when I moved back in after I left my husband I insisted on a real tree. She went out last year and bought the cheesiest fiberoptic tree in the entire world. This year she replaced it with a nicer non-cheesey fake one. It's just not the same though.

Even when I was single I went out by myself and got a tree. I had the guy load it in the back of my Celica and took it to my condo. All 95 pounds of me was dragging it in the house when my very large drug dealer neighbor saw me and offered to help. I was so proud of myself that I must have taken a half roll of film after I had it decorated.

I can't wait till my kids are old enough to enjoy getting a tree and putting it up. :getdown:

MY youngest kid doesn't know some people even bring live trees into the house to decorate, she thinks all X-mas trees come down from the attic in a huge green bag. :lmao: (she's 7)

AHH-CHOOOOO, sniff, scratch, AHH-CHOO
