Best Tree Ever

Sunday after church I went to my friend's tree farm to get our tree. It had snowed hard a couple of days before, and the roads up there hadn't been completely cleared, so I did have a very slow slide into a snowbank that left me front bumper-less, but once I did manage to get the car back on the road, and loaded the bumper into our back seat, it was not hard to regain the spirit of a snow covered hill filled with the evergreens of a story book. My friend, her husband and I tromped through he virgin snow up the hill with a chainsaw in search of the best tree ever. We liked this guy, though he was hard to see as he was completely covered in snow. We found out once he was dry and home in our living room, for example, that he was WAY taller than he looked at the farm- it seems the bottom foot or so had been completely covered in snow. We also found that the needles are VERY spiky (we had been wearing gloves when we picked it out and cut it down.) Wuggie's Dad set it up and asked if I wanted to trim any of the stray poky branches at the top. We decided to leave them because you can see the buds folded in on themselves at the end of each one. We like Tree just the way he is. I ended up putting on gardening gloves when we put on the ornaments to reduce the spikiness. Wuggie likes both of our 2 tree toppers and the one we borrowed from K-nob, so we used them all. He says it's the best tree ever.
