This afternoon, J and I visited a local tree farm to pick out our first 'real' Christmas tree. Actually, this is the first 'real' tree I've ever had since my family opted for the 'faux' variety each year.
Upon arriving at the farm, which consists of five fields full of trees behind a house, we were given a saw and turned loose on the property. Each tree for sale had a tag with the tree variety, price, and height. We spent quite a while exploring each of the five fields.
After considering several worthy candidates, we found our tree! It's a five foot tall Virginia Pine.
Following a car ride home (the tree fit inside with the back seat down), it was time to decorate!
Orange lights + blue jingle bells = a Florida Gator Christmas tree!
Love the Gator tree! We're not doing a tree this year since we'll be gone for two weeks over Christmas. I've been burning an evergreen-scented candle, but it's not the same!
