I have fond memories of going to the Christmas tree farm with my parents and sisters to cut down our family Christmas tree. We would sing carols, get cold, drink hot chocolate, finally decide on a tree, hack it down and then carry it back to get netted and tied to the car. We'd get sap on our hands and get excited about decorating the tree with our collections of ornaments from years past.
This year I told Todd we were not going to Home Depot for a tree. I wanted something more special. The problem was, we had no time to go to a farm. We had just gotten home from vacation. We needed a tree to be decorated that same night for a ward party at our home the next day. I thought the perfect compromise would be Cosley Zoo.
We had a great time looking at the animals and seeing the lights. There were rows and rows of lovely trees.
The only problem: They were all too small.
So guess where we ended up?
HOME DEPOT!
And we did get it decorated that night!
