Oh Christmas Tree! Oh Christmas Tree!

Trudging around looking for something out in the cold with snow higher than your boots is not how most people imagine spending their Sundays. But this is exactly what Ole, Birgitte, and I did this Sunday, in search of the perfect Christmas tree.

As we pulled up to the Christmas tree farm I was already pretty excited, but the excitement tripled when, instead of selecting a ready to go Christmas tree we headed off into the fields of trees to go find Our Tree. And that is how I found myself trudging through snow past the tops of my boots and enjoying it. One tree was too short, another too big, one too wide, another too thin. It was quite a challenge to find the perfect tree.

Finally we found Our Tree. A tall one that was not too tall, and full but not overly so. After the tree passed the test to be declared The One, Ole took his saw and cut down Our Christmas Tree.

After bringing it back to the farmhouse, and netting the tree, we brought it back home.

Figuring that ornaments and water do not go together, we waited for the snow to melt off the tree before setting it up. We then decorated The Tree in red and gold, candle lights, and Danish flags. I must say, Our Tree is a very beautiful one! Don't you agree?

God Jul Alle! Merry Christmas Everybody!
