We got our Christmas tree this weekend (pictures here). While it’s not nearly as cool as my family’s tradition, which is to drive up into the mountains to “murder” (Sam’s words, not mine) a tree growing in the forest, we’ve made a little tradition out of going up to a farm on Skyline to cut down our tree. Nicky was not too excited about walking around at the Christmas tree farm (I don’t blame him…unnatural place), but he did love the hot chocolate we brought with us. After a quick hike to a nearby lake we called it a day and headed back home with our tree.
