Not a Charlie Brown X-Mas Tree
About two weeks ago, my wife and I drove over to Ted Drewes (the delicious, frozen custard stand) to check out their Christmas Tree selection, which is a winter preoccupation of theirs. We were really surprised at the selection and cost. This White Pine, over 6′ tall, farmed locally, and with a “Dottie” rating (Ted Drewes’ indication of excellent proportion and posture), cost only $40! We bought our tree last year from Home Depot for more than that, and who knows where it came from.

what a pretty tree! we still haven’t gotten one yet. i like to go to those “kill your own” tree farms and saw my own down, but i’m thinking that prolly won’t happen this year. last year i ended up making do with the old dead rubber tree. it worked out fine but i do love a fragrant evergreen! happy holidays!
