Oh Christmas tree!

Here on the Island it seems almost everyone who is getting a real tree chops their own one so off we went today to cut ours down. Of course it was rain/snowing all day and not a nice day for trudging around looking for the perfect tree but if we didn't do it today it would be Christmas! Eli picked the tree - he did a pretty good job!

David made sure it was well and truly tied to the car. He must have wrapped the rope around the tree/car about 300 times. It wasn't going anywhere. We are now officially 'Islanders' as we have moved something on the roof of our car. (I have never known a place like Nanaimo for people driving down the highway with all manner of things either tied to the roof of the car or piled up so high in the back of their pickup that things go flying off all over the highway)

Trees that don't look so big outside with all the much bigger trees are actually pretty huge when you get them inside your house!!

Now to trim and decorate!
