our tree is up
Forgoing the tree from a tree lot, shipped here from who-knows-where, this year we decided to do a good thing and cut a fresh tree from this project.
A red cedar may not be the premium Christmas species, but so far the only disappointment we've experienced is that only two of the bulbs on our old string of C7 twinkle lights still twinkle.

Oh I like it!
We are going to get ours out of the woods this coming week.
It just makes it really feel like Christmas.

we get a red cedar from our property in the country for the country home. we'll probably do it on christmas eve this year. it's fun heading into the woods to pick and cut a tree.

Lights! Every year they give me a headache.
But I love the tree. I'm sure it smells heavenly at your house. :)

that tree program sounds great - and your tree looks so pretty! sorry about the lights though. i feel very fortunate to live where christmas tress are literally an important crop for our farmers... everybody wins!
