The time has finally come for us to tag our Christmas tree. We always go on the first day that they are open for the year so that we can get a good tree. Colin was at work when I found out when opening day was this year, so I texted him because I was certain that he would be as excited about this as I was. This is how that conversation went.
Me: Oct. 30th is the day! Mark your calendar! Christmas tree tagging!
Colin: You do realize this is before Halloween right?
Me: Only 1 day.
Colin: You do realize this is like 56 days before Christmas right?
Me: You do realize that you have to go on the first day they are open to get a good tree right?
Colin: Can we at least pick a thin light tree near the exit?
Me: Ummmmmmmmmm..NO! We will find a nice full one in the back like we do every year.
Colin: Are you going to decorate it?
Me: With your help.
Colin: Bah Humbug!
Me: Scrooge!
This year we actually did pick a tree that was thinner than we normally get and near the exit because we didn't ever see a really full one that we liked. I guess it's good to try something new once in awhile.
Let the holiday season begin!

It looks great!! I can't believe it is already that time of the year!!
You guys crack me up. The real tradition is the conversation you have every year about it!!! I love it and can't wait to see the decorated version of it. I think it's a bonus to not have to trek through the snow and freezing cold looking for the perfect tree. If we lived closer to you, we'd join you and do the same thing! I like the idea personally. Sorry Colin:) I'm sure K would be on your side though!
