An Annual Tradition

We usually get our Christmas tree after Thanksgiving.  We go up to Crest Ranch in Bonny Doon, California.  It is on the ridge above our house.  It’s a beautiful location.

We have to examine each tree.

Carefully.

We have fun along the way . . . all of it totally safe and legal.

(Or not . . . oops!)

In the end, we are successful in choosing a beautiful tree.

And have some special family time.

And some eye-rolling good jokes . . .

Still, I can’t imagine a better way to spend a cold, blustery Saturday morning. Fueled with hot chocolate and donuts, we drove up the mountain and found our symbol of the season this year. Success.

Happy Christmas, everyone!
