Three days after Thanksgiving, we all thought that it would be fit to get into the Christmas spirit. And what better way to do that than to get a Christmas Tree. North Carolina is famous for Christmas Tree farms, especially in our area. The county next door to us- Avery, is number one in Christmas Tree farms. Because of that we decided to drive around that area and see what kinds of farms we could find. As we were driving down the road, Mom spotted a sign that said "Choose and Cut Christmas Trees, $12 for all Sizes!" Well that was good enough for us. The most difficult part was probably getting down to the farm. It had rained and snowed the past couple of days and the road was super muddy! When we went up we went up. Ri found a Christmas tree he liked almost immediately. After some careful consideration we picked the perfect one (the one next to the one that Ri first liked!) and asked the man to cut it down. He even helped us wrap it for an extra dollar and secure it onto our car. After checking at a local store for tree stands, we realized that they were sold out of stands, so Ri and Dad made one. Finally we strung up the lights and decorated. The process took two days but now we have a lovely Christmas Tree in our living room!
