USA: Cozy way to buy your Christmas Tree

by Leslie Patson | 14th December 2009

(I wanted to take time out from Switzerland for a second to post this story as we countdown to Christmas!)

Wow, this almost looks like something out of The Shining! but in actuality it is the road to an amazing Christmas Tree farm in Asheville, North Carolina. And yes, while Marc and I are going to our neighborhood Home Depot John and Vinnie are hoping in the jeep and driving into the mountains, hell I can just smell the pine needles!!!!!!

What is this? A Martha Stewart photo shoot? Was there not a sled available???? Hi Martha! Oh, that’s John….

I’m expecting Laura Ingall Wilder to pop out either that or Ted Kaczynski…

Pick a tree, any tree!

The chosen one (the tree that is!)

A little hard work in the Winterwonderland!!!!

The ride home. By the way, this was appropriately the first snow of the season, what perfect timing! And, unlike Home Depot, John and Vinnie bought two 9 ft. trees for a total, yes thats total of $50!!!!!!!

The long and winding road………that leads to your door

    What beautiful photos … surprisingly, it’s not quite that snowy yet in Michigan, but we’ll be there soon! Happy holidays to you and stay cozy.
