My Christmas Tree Memory
My favorite Christmas tree memory is this and some of you may remember:
Big Brother Bean's fist year in college he was part of a band called Weeping Isaiah. For Christmas that year he wanted to bring the band and their friends/significant others to our house in Selma for Christmas Caroling that year and to see the magnificently ginormous tree that is our families tradition every year. Well, since his friends were coming to see this monstrosity he wanted to make sure it was perfect and pick it out. In his defense it looked good in the forest. And yes, we get our tree from the forest and not the actual Christmas tree lot as those trees are too small. Well, once this tree was in the house, strung up with lights and decorated it was lacking something. Filler branches to be exact. We actually used green twine to tie branches into different places to make it look a little better than it actually did. It was quite the farce getting that tree in presentable shape. However, all came, caroled and ate wonderful food and were merry. So overall, a big success with a rather large Charlie Brown type tree. :) Love you Nicholas!!!!!

The first in a string of bad "Charlie Brown Trees" for me, but I think I've worked my way out of the slump and am doing better now (pictures forthcoming).
Good times!
Brian must have been influenced by Nick's tree, because the first year we were married he went and plucked one out of the forest. It was a 12 foot tree. For our little tiny cabin in the woods. He seriously had to saw off about 1/3 of the tree (I am NOT exaggerating) to be able to get it in the door.
GREAT story! HAHA LOL
