Knowing how I like Christmas, Bev invited us out to their place this weekend to go Christmas tree shopping and trimming with them. We didn’t go out to a Christmas tree farm but to a big lot next to a Costco – just like on the movies! The pine smell was amazing when we got out of the car in a giant parking lot outside the supermarket and there were so many tied up trees to choose from. He took a bit of a risk getting me to choose – no idea what would fit into their house or what the tree would look like when untied – bit of a gamble picking which one so I just went for one that was huggable.
At a supermarket as giant as Costco the tree just got chucked into the shopping cart with everything else and wheeled through the checkout!
It only just fit into their house and after vacuuming all the dead needles out of it and cutting off the string (yes it exploded into The Mister’s face when the tight string was released!) it was onto decorating it. Apparently it is rather more giant than the ones they’ve had in previous years and I’m not living that down quickly!
