We went to get our Christmas tree today. A family in our homeschool group owns a Christmas tree farm and invited our group up to get a tree. We were so excited! Our oldest child could not be with us since he had to work and we did miss him not being with us. However, the 3 younger kids had a blast. I must say that I did too. I enjoyed watching the kids walk amongst all the trees asking, “what about this one?”
We finally chose the perfect one for our family and headed on back home. We have it up in the stand and will put the lights on in a bit. We took a break, made some hot chocolate and now are watching The Polar Express. Which is another tradition in our family, to watch a Christmas movie.
We normally don’t decorate the tree until morning and the kids will do that. We will make a huge breakfast and just spend some family time together.
This is just a few of our traditions. Do you have any? Does your family get a Christmas tree? Do you have any Christmas traditions? I can’t wait to hear them!
Oh! I love it. yes, we do get a Christmas tree and put a movie on while we decorate it. We go to the farm with my family and as my siblings get married the number of trees we buy and number of people who come, grows! =)
Love the pictures. We get our real tree next weekend. I love this time of year!
I don't really have a tradition to share- other than decorating for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving and reading our Advent stories.
I've always wanted to select a real tree but we never have. It really looks like it would be fun. Loved your pictures.
