Whose Woods These Are...A Photo Tale

My in-laws have a fake Christmas tree.  I know its an outrage; one that I have railed against for years, but with little to no effect.  However in an effort to pay for the sins of the father so to speak my wife and I only invite actual real, used to be alive trees into our home.  Not only that but we go out into the national forest and cut one down.  Its sort of like the carbon tax ideas being floated to counteract global warming.  Our real tree cancels out their Made in China, of Middle East oil lame fo tree thingy.  Oh and its organic, free range, non gmo, and gluten free.

Why spend seventy big ones at a tree stand or God forbid Costco an a tree that was cut down a week ago in Oregon and shipped here?  You'll be lucky if it last three weeks.  Ten bucks and some gas gets you way more tree then you can handle.

Oh and it lovely, crisp and invigorating up in the mountains this time of year!  We ran into this guy was out on the trail having a some sort of zen timeout.

Don't forget a saw! And don't cut the tree two feet off the ground and leave the stump.  Get down on your knees in the snow and cut it right.  Non of this wussification of America crap.

L.L. Bean should be contacting me any day now to plead for the rights to this shot for their next mailer.

Yeah my wife does takes good pictures doesn't she?

My little brother and I have a thing going were by we send each other pics of our truck looking cool. Scoreboard Gary!!
