One of my favorite traditions growing up was to go the day after Thanksgiving and cut down our Christmas tree in the mountains. I have so many fond memories of trudging through the snow to find the perfect tree and then drinking hot chocolate and listening to Christmas music. Unfortunately it has been a few years since we have been able to participate in that tradition. A few years ago we got a fake tree because our landlord wouldn't allow a real tree. I was hoping this year, since we now own our house, that we could get a real one again, but Nate said not this year. We have, however, kept up the tradition of decorating the tree the day after. (This year it was on the Monday after for FHE since we were gone over the Thanksgiving weekend.) The kids were SOOO excited and couldn't stop talking about it! As soon as dinner was over we started. Luke gave us a wonderful lesson on the True meaning of Christmas and reminded us all that it is really about Jesus. (How did I get such good kids?!) We turned on our Christmas music, thanks again Dad for the CD!!, and began to decorate!
