We bought a cut Christmas tree from my daughter's fiance. He has a nursery. The tree is on the back porch and the smell is wonderful. I was told that they had them shipped in from North or South Carolina. We'll bring it into the livingroom soon. Last year we bought a new, tall artificial tree, but this year we're keeping it in the attic. Some years I decorated both trees, but this year we're keeping it simple and trying to keep off ladders. I've got the Christmas music on and now all I need to do is straighten up the house for decorating.
