This is the weekend I always prepare for Christmas. I start by picking Brian up from school on Friday and go on the great tree hunt for the perfect Christmas tree. After three tree farms and four tree lots, he decides on one at a lot right by our home.
Maybe we should have just started there.
I think it is some sort of weird Christmas law for parents: the tree you get ends up being the first one your kids saw three hours earlier.
The tree he picks is fresh and fat. I get Brian to saw off the bottom inch and stick it in a bucket of water outside. I make him spray it down with water to clean out any dead needles and bugs. I think during this moment he is thinking Christmas sucks.
That’s what Christmas is all about – ruining it for our kids.
Until next time-
