Last week, we went and got our Christmas tree. This past weekend, the tree that will actually be a part of our Christmas day was obtained.
Christmas tree farms in Virginia are a bit tamer than those here in the land of ice and snow. The trees are all in nice neat rows. They are orderly. They are well-behaved. On flat ground. And they have no snow on them.
There are a quite a few of them, so you have to look carefully.
Very carefully
Oh look! A kitty!
A nice friendly kitty.
A kitty that may never have had social interaction with a two year old, like Tux the cat in this picture.
We pet Tux very nicely, but just in case, you want to keep a good hold on his tail, so that he doesn’t get away. It would take a lot of effort to get away though, so usually Tux just hangs out.
This kitty is happy to tag along and help choose the perfect tree.
Even little alien babies like to help find the perfect Christmas tree
You will notice that Jason is using a standard issue saw to get their tree. Not a double-bladed axe like some people we could mention. I’ll bet he would like a double bladed axe, but he is playing it safe and setting a good example, something his father in law no longer feels is necessary. 
Finally, Mark makes sure Jason can get the tree out of the woods. Those trees are pretty heavy, so you need someone to help you out. 
Phew! Now that we are a day past that wonderful Christmas wish list, and I’m sure all the presents have been claimed before I had a chance to make my selection ….. today’s posting is so adorable!
You did good ML! I love to pick out Christmas trees. PIcking out a tree is especially nice when you have a kitty to help you out! Unfortunately, our tree was picked out a couple of years ago at Hobby Lobby, after Christmas, at 80% off. : )
I remember one year when we lived in Maine, my father bought the real tree from a stand before I came home from shcool. There it stood in the living room in a stand and I could see clear through it. It did not meet up to my stringent Christmas tree specs. I’ll always remember this …….. my father took it out of the stand, took me with him and returned the tree and he let me pick out the Christmas tree!

I love your beautiful tree, and what a sweet little cat-loving angel! Our kids are all crazy about animals, and treat our black cat the same. :)
Thanks for stopping by! Good luck with your Christmas list, and I’m going to make that soup soon. When it gets cold, cause it’s in the 70’s here in Texas again!! Such is Texas weather … it was 20 a few mornings ago, and now I’m in a t-shirt, lol!
