Christmas Tree
Dec 15th, 2006 by Nate
This year, for the first time, we cut down our own christmas tree from a local farm about 3 miles from our house.? A 6 foot tall blue spruce(daggerus painicus maximus).? Here’s Karen with our tree, before we cut it down.

Here’s me sawing away.? The tree’s needles are just super duper sharp.? I have dozens of little puncture marks on my arms that I got when I tried to carry it.

Karen gives it a go.

We got it home, and had it in the stand in no time.? To date, it drinks anywhere between 4 and 6 quarts of water per day, and it’s lost almost no needles.? And as an added bonus, our entire first floor smells like cheap pine cleaner.
