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.
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. ;)
Jeg synes dere er så flinke til å skape slike hyggelige førjuls tradisjoner! Kos dere alle sammen! Kjekt at dere likte norsk film!!:) Her er også KALDT, men ikke snø i Stavanger by, kun oppe i fjellene.
In 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)
Looks 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!
Honestly, 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.

What a sweet picture of Americana. I can almost smell the tree.
Enjoy it!

I don't think we will put up a tree this year. I have our lights ready for Hannukkah though!

That's a very nice American tradition!
I'm jealous of the snow and the tree!
Nice tradition respected :-)) I would like to do that with Capucine (my granddaughter, by the way :-))

Einen schönen grossen Baum habt ihr euch da ausgesucht. Hast du ihn umgesägt, Leif?

You live a fairy-tale.
Please have you all a good Tuesday.

That is such a lovely and typical seasonal scene. Enjoy it.
Now that is something I would love to do. Great shot you captured there.
We never had such a nice moment as cutting our own tree. Lovely picture, Leif!

Beautiful picture, very Christmassy. Looking forward to seeing a picture of the tree once its decorated!
What a lovely family tradition! I bet the girls will remember it when they get older :-)
