Though for years we cut our own, this year we decided to forgo that since the idea of trying to keep up with a toddler and a preschooler in a cutting area filed with saws and falling trees was more than I could handle. At least it still smells good...but I agree with you, the family ritual makes it all the better.MommyTimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12860003098383600806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-13304098919886119962007-12-18T09:21:00.000-09:002007-12-18T09:21:00.000-09:00I LOVE YOUR TREE...I COME FROM SWITZERLAND REAL TR...I LOVE YOUR TREE...I COME FROM SWITZERLAND REAL TREE AND REAL CANDELS...THEY LOOK LIKE YOURS...<BR/>HAPPY HOLIDAYSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-43054056489407437672007-12-18T09:18:00.000-09:002007-12-18T09:18:00.000-09:00It's a really beautiful tree!It's a really beautiful tree!someone elsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12524255841655400982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-25434586507380213782007-12-18T08:24:00.000-09:002007-12-18T08:24:00.000-09:00I love your tree.
