I was sad to cut it at all, as I hate to kill a beautiful thing; but it will be long remembered, and makes for a glorious Yule.Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543082562999855432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-56171186052997531932018-12-08T14:13:10.410-05:002018-12-08T14:13:10.410-05:00We have always preferred to cut and decorate ours ...We have always preferred to cut and decorate ours very late, which is traditional in some European cultures, but the cut-your-own place we go to wants a vacation with his children in Australia this year, so tomorrow is the last day. We cut off our own property or wild on a local farm for a few years, and one year my oldest was given a 25-foot tree three hours away which he determinedly drove home. We cut it to about 14, which was plenty.<br /><br />We used to hang one-strand-at-time tinsel, but the bigger the tree, the more tedious that is. Many of the ornaments have a story, and Tracy and I are the only ones who know or care about those. We have too many, and put some aside for the inevitable story of a local family who gets flooded or burned out and loses all their ornaments.Assistant Village Idiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978011985085795099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-11420975175368990232018-12-08T10:48:04.694-05:002018-12-08T10:48:04.694-05:00We use a traditional tree: the same one every yea...We use a traditional tree: the same one every year.

Negotiations with Mr. Tex led to an agreement this year that he would not be grumpy and I would be moderate in my choice of tree, so now I have tree envy. Mine is about 8 feet. Yours is beautifully huge and beautifully decorated.Texan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/10479561573903660086noreply@blogger.com
