You and your family are going to laugh about this story for years to come! <BR/><BR/>I saw a commercial on tv last night where a dad and his kids were out trying to find the perfect tree to chop down. When they did he snapped a photo of it with his phone and sent it to the mom (who was nice and warm at home) and asked if this was it. She text (texted?!) back that it was. Right away, I thought of you! :)Darcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332386719762802940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5226285797342408422.post-53045484528622069432007-12-08T10:52:00.000-06:002007-12-08T10:52:00.000-06:00I so needed that laugh.

I feel like you could create your own silly Christmas carol out of it. Like the 12 Days of Christmas, but yours could be the 12 Memories I Want to Forget About Our Christmas Tree Adventure. And for the "5 golden rings" I find it appropriate to rephrase that to "five million tree stumps!"Lynette3boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02343857414927685529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5226285797342408422.post-74647249388063905022007-12-06T15:46:00.000-06:002007-12-06T15:46:00.000-06:00Oh ... but then you wouldn't have had this truly w...Oh ... but then you wouldn't have had this truly wonderfully written story to tell!!!

So, my guess is the "visit to the tree farm" will become one of your family's favorite stories to tell in years to come.<BR/><BR/>SandraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5226285797342408422.post-66381947432131950492007-12-06T13:16:00.000-06:002007-12-06T13:16:00.000-06:00All the misery and no tree?

And you told it SO well!<BR/><BR/>So my question is, if you'd found the perfect tree, would you have waited until the horses came back, or would you have sent someone back to get the horses while some waited with the tree, <I>or</I> would you have lugged the thing all the way back to the car yourselves, simply because getting it in the first place was such an ordeal?!tammihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803890115567631062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5226285797342408422.post-23473071019591342007-12-06T05:39:00.000-06:002007-12-06T05:39:00.000-06:00Oh.

The situations Raymond gets himself in are just too real and painful for Zuddy to watch.<BR/><BR/>That's kind of how I feel about this story. I've never really had the desire to go cut down a Christmas tree. But after your story? I'll probably feel ill anytime someone tells me THEY went and cut down their tree!<BR/><BR/>Poor you! <BR/><BR/>xoxox,<BR/>marthaMarthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782925951300369029noreply@blogger.com
