This year, I won the annual fake/real Christmas Tree debate! I could not stop giggling with excitement the whole time we were at the tree lot. The air was crisp and the woodsy-pine smell was very apparent. We picked out the perfect little fir and managed to get it home without any major problems. I was relieved to discover that indeed, it did fit in our house: it’s difficult when there’s nothing to help you with scale but the other trees. Let Christmas begin!
P.S. Did you know that my province provides Boston with it’s tree for the Boston Common each year? You can read about it here or see a video here.

I love the smell of Christmas trees. It just fills the whole house in a marvelous way.
