Christmas Tree Getting

As most things are going this year, we have decided to join the tide and celebrate Christmas and forget Thanksgiving. Not really, but our camera died so we don't have any pictures to document our international thanksgiving event.

This was our trip the day after Thanksgiving to Parry's U Cut farm. I love this place. They are so nice and all about service and take your picture next to the (creepy) snowman.

Trees are pretty cheap out in Oregon where we have so many tree farms that Oregon actually supplies them to other states. Fraser firs that I remember paying an arm and leg for in Ohio, were $24. Granted, you also have to cut it down yourself - or Eric does. I watched. And then the nice men from the farm hauled it back up and fixed it up and put in my car. That's my kind of tree adventure.

Eric is tree spotting.

It is so foggy out here lately. This just gives you an idea of the fog that was rolling up the hill. It's like being in Scotland. Sort of. Now I know why this place has so many coffee shops...I'm ready for a nap by 11:30am.

Just a reminder of last year. Cheap tree and 'natural', but really not something that I'd like to repeat...I do like service. Not so much interested in falling down a mountain and wiping out in the pass. I did it once.
