Our family-too bad it wasn't a close up, it would have been a good Xmas card

Every year we get a real Christmas tree. We usually go to Hozak's so we can ride the wagon and hunt down our tree and cut it ourselves. Then we go back to the barn and drink hot chocolate and buy a new ornament. For the past couple of years we have been getting a Concolor Fir. The tree smells like oranges. Last year Hozak's had a couple left and said they wouldn't have any more for a couple of years. They had become so popular that they've been cleaned out and we have to wait for the thousand that they planted to grow. So we called around and Allison's Tree Farm said they had Concolor Firs. Lee really wanted this tree again so we went and it did not go as planned. We waited 15-20 minutes for the hayride. This was Nate's first experience and he really enjoyed it, especially the hayride. We get to the field and the driver of the wagon said that they really didn't have any Concolor's that were the size we wanted. Meanwhile the owner said "Oh yeah, we have a lot in the 6-7 feet range". Too make a long story short, I don't know if I'll go back, though next year those Concolor's might be in our range so who knows.
