O Christmas Tree...

...O Christmas Tree, how expensive are your branches!

This year found us looking for our beloved tree in the middle of town. After last years "Snowshoe Death March" memories, Laura's morning sickness & sick kids, our big family decided to not take our annual trek up into the Colville National Forest to cut down a Christmas tree in the beginning of December. No, last Saturday, we found the nearest tree lot, forked over $50 (usually a $5 tag gets us one), tied it to the Sub, and drove home! Oh well, not quite as fun or memorable, but we still got our tree.

No death march. That's probably a REALLY good thing! We used to have a tradition where we'd walk all the way to the 500 block or so of Garland and buy our tree from a guy who did a make-shift Christmas tree lot in his back yard. But he moved. Kind of sad.
