I don't like being cold, plus all that cold air aggravates my asthma (but mostly, I don't like being cold). I just point to a tree and say very hopefully "that looks fine." Then I proceed to stand there for ooooh, about six months, I'd say, while my husband and boys agonize over each tree. Then I point to another tree and say mournfully, "that looks fine" and wait for another six months while they debate. I mean, good grief, we are picking out a tree here. We are not adopting it or buying a car here, folks! It's a tree....Still, I do love the decorating part of it! Especially the part where it falls every year, lol...and yes, I have read your post about that. I hate to admit this, but I don’t like shopping for Christmas trees.

We're here now and I can't find any place to cut down a tree. Just lots of them in parking lots...not my idea of a great memory. Where did you find in Virginia Beach?

I would be sick the entire time it was in the house. So we have a nice artificial tree. Oh well. I wish we could do this, unfortunately I am highly allergic to trees, particularly evergreen trees.

It is kind of expensive here in the Philadelphia suburbs, but sometimes it is ok to spend money : ). The memories we make are priceless! We like to do this also : ).
