Who, in their right mind, would go Christmas tree shopping for a REAL tree on a Thursday evening, -23C with wind chill of -34C. Who would do that?????...........us.......
And who would do that without wearing long, woolly underwear under their jeans plus two pairs of mitts, a hat on their head, a scarf around their face plus an extra sweater or two under their ski jacket????........us........
I do think we're a wee bit bonkers, eh?? Sometimes Saskatchewan people do things like that!
The sales lady at Gaudet's Trees told us the beauty we picked out was "hefty". A 6 footer too.
He's all frozen and wrapped up at the moment but when we unleash his bindings, I wonder just how "hefty" he'll turn out to be??? 8 feet wide???? Should he spread himself out too far into the living/dining room, we may have a very intimate Christmas dinner AROUND the tree.
Might be nice............
I dare not mention the "pruning" word around him for fear he'll drop his needles. We'll stay hushed for now and hope one side of him is a little thin.
The tree. I think he'll be a beauty.
I do hope the "children" as well as old St. Nick will appreciate him.

Glad to hear you go real and not artificial! Nothing like a real tree at Christmas time.
He's standing in his stand and looks pretty sweet. Smells good too!
I'm surely not an artificial kind of gal, well, other than wearing make-up and coloring my hair..........oh, and I do have two front teeth that are fake.....not that I need to tell the whole world but I need to be real in my artificiality!
Haha. Thanks for sharing! :) Mom and Dad just put up our tree. They decided to cut one down at the lake and bring it home with them a few weekends ago. Let's just say it has a lot of character and shape to it. What a wonderful season.
