The McNeil Family Christmas Tree

It has been a tradition in the McNeil family to have a real tree. In the Clothier household we do the fake thing. So I gave into getting a real tree when we started living together. I’m not a huge fan because I don’t think you can ever find the perfect shape, I never notice them having the “tree” smell and they die leaving needles all over the place.

Until this year….I think we found the perfect tree! See…

Yesterday we headed out to find our tree. The place we have gone the past 3 years closed last season so we first tried a place down the street. They had some good trees but were kinda $$$. We then headed over to Bierman's Christmas Tree Farm and it was like we had hit the tree jackpot! We spotted the perfect tree right away. Hubby grabbed the saw and cut it down. I think this is his favorite part! We also enjoyed some Hot Cocoa and cookies before heading home.

We put the Christmas tunes on and spent the rest of the day decorating the house inside & out. This is by far my favorite time of the year. I love our little family traditions and look forward to sharing them with our kids some day!

    And it's BEAUTIFUL! I'm going to find me some evergreen scraps...so I can get a Christmas odor in my house. I'm still going w/ the fake ones though...b/c last count, I have 14 inside and 5 outside! ha! {that includes the little kitchen ones!} I'll be doing a blogpost soon, w/ a smilebox showing my decor. I think it's fun to see how everyone decorates...and I feel like I've gone visiting when I look at someone else's decor. Miss you sweet thang!
