Cutting your own Christmas Tree

Cutting your own Christmas Tree

            It was, and still is, a big deal to me

Now I think most people still prefer a pretty store bought tree for their own home and celebration. And it is fun decorating it for so many, both young and old.

But consider cutting your own Christmas Tree, too.

Now the cutter(s) will probably be very proud of their work, and their work may be less than what you hoped for and maybe expected. So be it.

Once my Christmas tree at around my age 5 was a local twig. But decorating it with some Christmas decorations was fun for me, and I was pleased with the result. And I enjoyed my Christmas and Christmas presents gathered around this decorated twig.

Last, and if you can and want to, make cutting your own Christmas Tree a Family tradition. It can be so much fun searching for a "perfect" local tree ahead of time, marking it somehow, later cutting it, carrying it to your home, trimming it, and decorating it.
