Christmas Tree Farm - the hunt is on!

So the tradition we have for bringing or christmas tree home is to go up to the Los Gatos / Santa Cruz mountains to the Summit tree farm and cut it down. Its a fun tradition because of the hunt involved. Will the tree last till christmas, will it fit in the house (I like tall trees), will it have a random hole we couldn't see before we cut it, or my family's personal favorite, will it fall down this year! (I've gotten some real winners in the past - like my dad; string, wire, support boards, towels anything in the house becomes a great prop to keep the tree up! Well this year was new b/c our newest addition Eli. The girls are more into the "Hunt" and it was a beautiful day up on the hill. The tree we got looked really good, but ended up having "weak" branches. The next post will be about the tree decorations.
