the upstairs tree

Mom and Dad have a beautiful artificial tree which we put up downstairs in the living room. But one of our favorite traditions each year is going to the tree farm and choosing the perfect tree to chop down and take home. I’ve had to rethink a lot of our Christmas traditions lately. Some we had to let go when we moved away from our previous city. But some we’ve been able to hang on to. We found a brand new Christmas tree farm to play hide and seek in this year. I discovered the joys of choosing a “small” tree. Our small space upstairs = small tree that can be carried by one person + takes 2 hours to decorate instead of the usual 2 days. Win all around.
