So I started my Charlie Brown Christmas yesterday. Every year I need to get a real Christmas Tree. It is very important to me. A fake Christmas Tree just doesn't do it. I have experienced a fake tree and it is kind of like fake boobs. They are nice to look at, but they just don't feel right. There is something special about a real Christmas Tree. It has a great smell that you just can't duplicate. It makes me feel like Christmas is actually on its way.
I went to on my annual Christmas Tree trip to the Loop in Methuen. It started because Danielle Cochrane had suggested a tree farm in the area. Well I got completely lost the first time and ended up seeing a movie and going to Home Depot. Home Depot has some great trees and it is pretty much a no hassle shopping trip. I saw National Treasure, which was a great movie. The ending was a little disappointing, but overall it was very good. That Bruckheimer does such a great job producing movies.
I then went to Home Depot and found the perfect tree. It really was great; full in every area with one spot that I could hide if turned it the right way. The last two years I have lived in the lap of luxury with a high ceiling that allowed me to get a pretty tall tree. Not tall like Chevy Chase's Christmas Vacation but tall for a single guy living in an apartment. I have since moved to a smaller apartment with much lower ceilings.
All of this would have been great to remember when I was buying the tree. So I brought the tree home in my SUV; which wasn't as convenient as I thought it would be. The tree was a little too long for the car and I had to bring it all the way to the front. Putting it on the top would have made sense, but I rarely make sense. After almost crashing 5 or 6 times I made it home. I got it upstairs and took out my Christmas Tree Saw to cut the bottom so I could water the tree. I cut of about 6 inches and tried to put the tree in my room. It was about a foot and a half too big.
My tree is now a distant memory of what it was. I had to cut a bunch of branches off the bottom and about another foot and a half. It has a small gap that I am trying to hide with ornaments, but I don't think I am being that successful. I wouldn't trade it for a fake tree, but it is a little disappointing. At least it can only get better from here. Thankfully, the Christmas season is always a joy. I am now going to go outside and wait for Lucy to pull the ball away when I try to kick it.

I'm jealous! I would looooove to have a Christmas tree too! I agree though, fake trees just aren't the same. Well, maybe I'll have to settle with the fact that there is a Christmas tree on my floor, behind some walls. It's the thought that counts! :)

Now your tree has character. Perfect trees are overrated anyways. My family always tries to buy the creepiest trees because we feel bad for them because no one else will want them. So you started off with a perfect tree with no character and ended up with a creepy tree with personality :)
