Finding a Chrstmas Tree while Brenda shops with Taylor

Posted By on December 9, 2023

This would be a great photo of Brenda and Taylor, but for being a blurry selfie (click to see larger). Oh well, I enjoyed seeing the two of them out for their annual mother and son Christmas shopping and evening dinner. I hope they were successful?

While they were out, I did my annual the tree searching thing … which is becoming more and more frustrating each year (receipt:$$$). This year, the selection was slimmer and prices were “inflated” … as I has already beenwarned and expected. Buying a “real” tree shouldn’t be so expensive, perhaps it is time to cut a few of our Charlie Brown looking trees down in our backyard?

But too late for this year as the credit card has been dinged again, the tree was shaken, then wrapped and tossed into my utility trailer. I assume those without a pickup truck or a trailer do not buy an 11-12 foot tree as there’s no way to put it … and keep it … safely on the roof (even if I had a roof rack). 

EDIT add 12/9/2023: The Christmast tree is in the house and up … although pretty bare at the moment! 😊
