The Christmas Season is in full swing. This has to be my most favorite part of the year. I love seeing the kids come out, especially the little ones, and look for the perfect tree. We have a lot of repeat customers who make the experience a true family tradition year after year. Its funny to see the older kids come in and follow the parents around. You can tell they have been saying "C'mon Dad, do I have to wear the elf hat this year, its so lame." They try to hold back the smile until no one's looking but it never works. They will still take a candy cane when they leave even though give me the sheepish grin and say they will take for their younger brother or sister.
The farm brings out the best in everyone and even a little craziness! Last weekend, we sold an 18 foot spruce. The poor guy was just shaking his head when his wife pointed out the tree. It took 3 of us to wrestle the tree into the baler and then in the back of the truck.
Part 2: I got a picture of the 18' Norway tree set up in the stand. They used a 12' step ladder and still could not quite get the angel on by hand. They were such a nice family and now I am on the hook for an even larger tree next year!
