A tree for the corner!
It’s inside! Our Christmas tree for 2015.

our tree for 2015, a balsam fir

We are lucky here in New Brunswick – we can buy locally-grown Christmas trees. We buy our tree at a lot where they cultivate their own trees, so usually the tree has been cut only a few days before, and will last well past Christmas. I usually take our tree down on January 6th.

When my son was young, we often cut our tree at a Christmas tree farm with my brother’s family. I can still see the paths the kids made as they ran in the rows, trying to find the perfect tree.

I am happy to know that many trees sold in communities across America come from New Brunswick. We have seen the loads of trees on the highways for weeks.

OK, I am officially in the Christmas spirit! Now the lights for the tree. And then our box of ornaments. Results to follow!
