There is this great place in Wheelock, Texas, about 30 minutes from CST, where you can chop down your own Christmas tree. How fun! My family was in for Thanksgiving and the day after we headed out to find our Christmas tree. We ended up not liking any of the ones you can chop down but they had some lovely dougless furs from North Carolina (my favorite) for a lot cheaper than anywhere in town.
Now let me just tell you...I love Christmas more than anyone. I love all the smells, decorations, food, happy people, lights, santa, hot chocolate, fires, and celebrating the birth of our Savior but Christmas has just not been loving us back. We decorated the whole house Friday. Saturday night we go to turn on our outside lights...squirrels have eaten through a strand. Uhh no big deal we will fix it...well it has now happened 3 times now...each time on a different strand and I refuse to buy more lights. It is sad, I know but why keep buying lights if they are going to keep eating them. If you have any ideas please share. Then Sunday night Matt and I are laying in bed and all of a sudden we hear a loud crash. Our tree had fallen over, broken ornaments everywhere. On the plus side, Cam slept through it. I don't know what it is with Christmas this year but we are keeping our positive attitudes just without the lights.
