...how lovely are thine branches. The Sunday after Thanksgiving and on our way back home Chandi-er set up to find their Christmas tree. If you are a loyal blog reader you'll remember the troubles we had last year. Chandi-er purchased a Christmas tree from an urban Christmas tree farm/lot. This year we were determined to have the tree last until Christmas!There were a few differences this year however that were to some extent going to limit our options. First the car we had to put the tree on was small so we had to keep that in mind as well as having to drive it from Indiana back to Chicago. The first place we stopped was selling tree for only $10! We thought we had hit the jackpot as last year we paid over $70. However our joy was short lived as they were closed. So we got back on the road and pushed on. About an hour later 'er' yelled out that she had spotted a sign for trees. So we turned the car around and headed out into the unknown.
About three miles off the road we ran into a quaint little establishment called Egolf's Christmas Trees Inc.. I have to tell you that they were the friendliest bunch of tree farmers I've ever met; which doesn't do them justice because I don't typically meet a lot of tree farmers. Regardless they were great! They handed us a saw and a cart and pointed us toward the trees.
Well as you can imagine three girls and a saw can't lead to anything but laughter. Just so you, the Chandi-er consumer, can enjoy what we did on Sunday we have posted a short video of the cutting down of the tree. I hope you enjoy it...we did. And the last thing is our finished tree. We can't say enough about how much we love it and how much fun the experience was. I highly recommend to anyone putting up a tree to find your local friendly tree farmer and cut your own. It's a ton of fun!
