We drove out to the Stillwater Tree Farm to cut down our own Christmas tree. Many people bring home a Christmas tree right after Thanksgiving. It was a great way to celebrate the first Sunday in Advent.

About Me
- Leif Hagen
- Eagan, Minnesota, United States
- I was bit by a foreign travel bug after my sophomore year in high school. I haven't found a cure for it, nor do I plan to. I visited India for 5 weeks in early 2009 and Europe in July 2009. My family and I spent 1 month in Sweden, Norway and Denmark in July 2010. In January 2012, I went to the foothills of the Himalayan mountains and a wedding in Jaipur, India. Then in May 2012, I returned to Japan and Bangkok, Thailand. My family and I spent 3 weeks in Paris, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany in August 2012.

What a sweet picture of Americana. I can almost smell the tree.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it!
Fun family memories of cutting down your special Christmas tree. For the last 13 years, we resorted to a plastic tree. Our dog Winston loved to strip the needles off the lower branches where he could reach. Then he would drink the tree water dry. Despite the aftermath, he had pine scented breath. ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't think we will put up a tree this year. I have our lights ready for Hannukkah though!
ReplyDeleteJeg synes dere er så flinke til å skape slike hyggelige førjuls tradisjoner!
ReplyDeleteKos dere alle sammen!
Kjekt at dere likte norsk film!!:)
Her er også KALDT, men ikke snø i Stavanger by, kun oppe i fjellene.
Looks like you got a good one!
ReplyDeletelove those trees! ^0^
ReplyDeleteIn the Netherlands I wait for Sinterklaas to be over (december 5) and the next day i go out to buy me a tree (if i want to cut one myself, the petrol would cost me another tree)
ReplyDeleteThat's a very nice American tradition!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of the snow and the tree!
Nice tradition respected :-)) I would like to do that with Capucine (my granddaughter, by the way :-))
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun time! However, because "I've been there, done that" countless times, I now keep a decorated tabletop tree in the attic and haul it out for the holidays! Grandkids still think it's great. Typing with two hands now. Yippee!Getting a new Mac soon and as soon as I can operate my camera I'll be back in business!
ReplyDeleteEinen schönen grossen Baum habt ihr euch da ausgesucht. Hast du ihn umgesägt, Leif?
ReplyDeleteMonica
You live a fairy-tale.

That is such a lovely and typical seasonal scene. Enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteNow that is something I would love to do. Great shot you captured there.
ReplyDeleteWe never had such a nice moment as cutting our own tree. Lovely picture, Leif!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, when our kids were young and we were buying shoes in lots of 5, (we had 5 kids) I sometimes went out along roads and cut down a wild cedar tree for our holiday.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture, very Christmassy. Looking forward to seeing a picture of the tree once its decorated!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely family tradition! I bet the girls will remember it when they get older :-)
ReplyDeleteDa ist ja der AngeberBaum....gut gemacht!
