Oh, Chistmas Tree...

It's that time of year again.... So, we bundled up and headed out to get a tree.

First step: dressing for the weather

Second step: choosing the right pre-cut tree (didn't feel like sawing this year).

Third step: getting the tree home. Note the following. 1) lack of car rack; 2) only two pieces of long twine, adhered by the back door; 3) angle of the tree. "Tie it on yourself," the tree dude said. But, without any Clark W. Griswold moments, got it home intact.

Fourth step: posing by the tree.
