A Christmas (tree) story

Wilf and I have always had a live Christmas tree, in recent years he and Henry have gone into the great outdoors and liberated a tree.  This year Wilf did not want to go by himself so Saturday we headed out to track down a tree.  First place we went only had trees that were too big, so we went to Canadian tire , they had lots a couple of days ago.  They hadn't real trees left, so we looked at artificial ones, the ones left were all in a planter to put up on the patio. Not what we wanted. A lady who was shopping there said she worked at CT and she would help us find the trees, she could not find anything either.  She talked to her coworker who said the last one was just sold.  They suggested Peavey mart, so off we went.  Got there, no real trees left and no artificial either.  The lady we talked to there said do you want it today, we said no tomorrow would be fine, so she sold us the display tree with the understanding that it did not include the decorations. It is beautiful and 50 percent off. We took it home and decorated it.

Merry Christmas to all.

I hate to point out the obvious, but aren't you surrounded by trees?

We also had to get our own tree this year. Usually the kids get it ( last year Del cut it for us). We had quite a time tramping in the bush with snow up to the knees on our short legs.
