Yes, We are one of those that can't wait to put up their Christmas tree. Actually, it's mostly me that can't wait. Bill would have probably done it next week if it were up to him. We have bought our Christmas tree from Mr. and Mrs. Ernie Corwin since we moved here in 2005. Fellow Michiganders to Bill. Very sweet (hard working) older couple. We learned something new about them today. They raise reindeer! His male is worth about $ 10,000 and his female about $3,500. They currently have 10! Cool huh?
Once we got to the tree lot, it took us about thirty minutes to pick out the "one". For some reason, it's like picking out the next member of your family (if we ever actually do that). In a sense, it will be a member of our family for the next month huh? I do have to water the dang thing right? :) We didn't name him at first, but I have since decided to call him "tree". Fitting isn't it??
When we found "tree" Ernie the tree man was busy helping another customer. I asked Bill if he would guard "tree" so no one else would claim him. Here is Bill "guarding" Tree! :)
And me, petting "Tree". Hello "Tree"! Tree is now fully decorated in his new home. I should have posted a pic of him all done up. I will get one up soon.

I think Tree is so handsome! Mr. and Mrs. Corwin did a fine job raising him. Hey, have you ever wondered how they get all of Trees brothers and sisters down here from Michigan? Maybe that is something you can find out next time. Is it really that profitable of a business? Think about it, they have a farm right? They raise them all year, only to chop them down in Nov., load them in a big truck, transport them, set them up and then sell them for $100-$150 each? seems like so much work!!!! Where do they stay once they are down here? In a hotel? That's more money out of the tree bank! :) Lets go see them when i get home from Bham so I can get all my questions answered!!! :)
Tree is one good looking tree!! You should post a picture of tree decorated in all his glory. I hope your furry friends don't knock him over! No no Lucy!!
