Yay for Christmas trees!
We got ours today.
I hadn't had a live tree in probably 15 years or more, decided it was time to get one.
I came home for lunch and Indian_Dad and I ran up the road to Wheatleys where they have a fresh shipment in and got "The Perfect Christmas Tree" [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

We had originally planned to wait until this weekend, but decided the sooner the better since these are cut trees. For the sake of the life of the tree, I'd rather get one now and put it in water than wait a week or two and buy the same tree that's been sitting out without water.

Let me guess, you had a flat on the way home, Indian Dad got out to change the tire...you were holding the lugnuts in the hubcap when he accidentally knocks them out of your hand...and you turn and say "Oh fu** "

LOL!

Ohhhhh Fuuuuuuuudggggeeeee
Only I didn't say "Fudge." I said THE word, the big one, the queen-mother of dirty words, the "F-dash-dash-dash" word!

It was all over - I was dead. What would it be? The guillotine? Hanging? The chair? The rack? The Chinese water torture? Hmmph. Mere child's play compared to what surely awaited me.

-----------------
So I got home from work, decided to do the not-fun-part of putting up the tree. I get the thing put up and find that our lovely 6-7' Fir is actually 8.5 feet tall lol.

You two need to go cut your own. Its fun going and picking out just the right tree. It can be a little pricey, but it is pretty neat going through a forest of firs finding the one.
