Having to tend to our gym, my dad didn’t have time to buy a Christmas tree this year, so a few days ago I went into the woods to get one myself. It was pretty fun – being able to go into my backyard and find total silence, just the whistling wind and cracking branches – one of the things I like about Maine. Plus, the pride in finding and cutting down my own tree is something I haven’t experienced since I was little. I got the right kind this time – once I brought home a tree that ended up smelling like cat pee, LOL! I’ve embedded a slideshow below, or you can see the full-size photos in my Flickr account. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas! ^-^
