The Christmas Tree Hunt.

As kids, it was the biggest adventure of the year. 

Both Robby and I grew up bundling up and heading off to high on a mountain top to find the perfect tree, cut it down, and bring it home. 

There was sledding, and cocoa, and powdered donuts.

Well. Not really the case living in the city. A city that sits in a dessert. 

Yes there are tree lots, with their jingle and jangle and Santa and such.....but you also pay waaaaay to much for a little tree. 

So we make our own adventure. 

a-a-ahem, 

Once upon a time, in a far away land, lived a little family in their little red house. 

The day had come for the annual Christmas tree hunt, so they bundled up, hopped in the car, and headed to the magical forrest of.......

Garden Center.

The forrest was huge! Acres of trees, as far as the eye could see!

All perfect, and how strange.....lined up by size.

The family hunted and hunted for THE perfect tree. 

However would they find it in such a large forrest?

Finally! The One was found. The perfect tree they would take home and adorn with holly and jolly and tinsel galore.

A nice forrest gnome appeared, to help package the tree before it left on it's long journey home, atop the family car.

The Tree had found it's home, and made merry and bright. 

and they all lived happily ever after.
the end.
