I love getting our Christmas tree. It's one of my favorite family outings all year. We've kind of made a tradition out of riding the little train, cutting down our tree, getting an eggnog latte, watching National Lampoon's Christmas vacation while we decorate, and ending the night with each of us opening a small gift.
This year, everything didn't go as smoothly... kind of like the movie. First, we cut down a tree that was too big for our tree stand. So Adam had to cut a huge chunk off the bottom, just so it could fit. Only we don't have a chainsaw, so it took him almost an hour to cut it with our rusty saw. Then once we finally got it to fit inside our stand, the stand completely broke and the tree crashed. So after a trip to Home Depot for a new one, we finally finished decorating around midnight. Even after all of that, there's nothing like collapsing on the couch and staring at your decorated tree in the dark. It was almost worth all of the craziness...

Awwwwww! Sounds like some wonderful traditions, there!
Maybe the Home Depot run can be a new part of the tradition???
Maybe not.
