When Do You Tree?

christmas tree 09

Normally it’s November 1st. Because of our traveling schedule, and the immense amount of time we spend investing into other peoples’ lives, we normally have what feels to be a very short Christmas season. So we try and squeeze in as many days as possible with our Christmas Tree. This year, we haven’t had time to even get the Tree. But that ends today, November 28th. Check in later to watch us snag our ’09 Tree live. So when do you get your Christmas Tree? And is it real or artificial? Cut yourself, or bought pre-wrapped? ch:

Body Bag

The day our Christmas tree died was the first day of 2009. Not because we don’t like Christmas; we do. Normally it would stay up through the end of January (or longer). But the thing is, we got our Christmas tree November 1st as it was the only weekend we had free for the following two months. So needless to say, she was quite brittle (I have the scares to prove it). And being the geniuses we are, we used a Christmas tree body bag to carry the beast outside. Save that next year, I’ll start the tree off in the bag (placing it at the bottom); putting the bag over the tree, as instructed, only produced a great piling of needles on the carpet…the very thing I was trying to avoid. Anyways, our music sanctuary in our green room has returned.

What were your adventures in getting (or parting with) your Christmas tree this year?  ch:
