o christmas tree, o christmas tree

you are a fire hazard!
your lights so bright
they'll burn us down
they'll burn all night
ashes to the ground.
o christmas tree
o christmas tree
you are a fire hazard.

So I went on my first Christmas Tree hunt with my sister and her family today. It was fun. The ground wasn't too muddy and the air was freezing cold. We saw so many trees of various sorts... even a few 'Charlie Brown' trees. When we found the p e r f e c t tree we gave my brother-in-law the 'man-job' priviledge of sawing it down. T i m b e r! When the tree was placed in the the tree 'shaker' to remove all the dry needles my younger nephew (age 3) says, "Look mummy, they're jingle-bellin' our tree!" Awh, so cute. And then when they pulled our tree through the net wrapping canal my older nephew (age 6) says, "It's a G I R L!" Too funny! Gotta love a day for the holidays. It doesn't look like I will get to go home and help them decorate it this time as I have an important date with my friend Kat and her husband this evening... but I enjoyed the little experience... most people seemed to be in the "holiday" spirit. The music playing, fresh hot apple cider, and candy canes helped any one who wasn't.
