I love the smell of a fresh cut Christmas tree. We bought ours last night at our local Target store. The stores here usually carry Noble firs or Plantantion Douglas firs. We usually get the Douglas fir in the 6-7 foot range. The one we bought last night had already been tossed aside by someone. I don't know why. It's a perfect tree. About 7 feet tall, nicely shaped, quite fresh, judging by the needle test. We put it in it's stand and I added water. Now, it's spreading out it's branches and the whole house has the fresh tree smell. I love it!
Hopefully, I can get the rest of my Christmas decorating done. I usually start the day after Thanksgiving, but I'm really behind this year. It takes me about 2-3 days to decorate. I'll take pictures when I'm done.

Lynne? Have you got your's yet? ;-)
