Well, Christmas was over two months ago but I still have photos I need to post here on my blog. Wow, I'm behind!!
Bear with me as I post photos and play catch up...
We found a great little Christmas Tree Lot to get our tree at this year. It's our tradition to go to a Christmas Tree Lot to get our tree every year... Adam's Nursery, to be exact! It's something that started when we got our first tree together, 9 years ago. We love wandering around a tree lot, with lights strung above us, the snow softly falling, warming up inside with a cup of hot cocoa after we find the perfect evergreen to grace our home.... Okay, okay, so it always doesn't happen that way!! There have been years when we trudge around a tree lot in below zero weather arguing with each other about what tree is a better "shape", and even years when we scrambled through a tree lot picking the first decent tree we could find in an effort to get out of the pouring rain as fast as we could!
Now that we are Southtowns "folks", Adam's Nursery is quite a haul for us. So, we started the "mission" of finding a tree lot last winter, which was disappointingly unsuccessful. Tree Lots are hard to come by in the Southtowns. Most Christmas tree places are "Cut Your Own", which is definitely something we'd like to try once "I" is a bit older. Last year we ended up going to a tree lot in Arcade, but it was nothing spectacular. It did the "job", but didn't have that nostalgic feeling we were looking for. So, this year we stumbled across a tree lot in East Concord: Jake's Greenhouse & Christmas Trees. They had a great selection of trees, a nostalgic feeling lot strung with lights, an indoor area with complimentary popcorn and hot cocoa, and they even gave the tree a fresh cut on the trunk, threw in rope and tied it on the car (all for $35)!!
We have always gotten a Douglas Fir, but this year we tried something different and brought home a Fraser Fir. I think this will be a new favorite of ours! Although not as fragrant as the Douglas Fir (which has a very strong evergreen scent), the Fraser Fir lasted longer and lost hardly any needles.
