We got our Christmas tree! Friday we were walking back from Camden market when we passed some trees at the Morrison's. Ten minutes later we had picked out the "tallest tree ever" according to Jodie and were walking home with it. Ray is a friend from the States who was visiting and kindly agreed to help carry it. The best part of the tree is that it came with it's own stand...it's been nailed into a slice from a larger tree trunk that serves as the base. It works great, and there were no issues of getting it straight or stable once we got it in the house. I'll admit, it's not quite the same as Ryan, who cut his own tree from a forest, but it still makes it feel like Christmas around here. Which is good, since we're having a housewarming/Christmas party this weekend.

The nice thing about your tree is that you didn't have to turn around a giant Ford Excursion with a 10 foot trailer on a small logging road. We almost got stuck.
The main benefit of cutting down your own tree though? The price - $5.
A tree with its own stand - how cool!!!, especially since we are using your wonderful stand for our tree. Are most of the trees in the city sold that way?
