Cutting down our Christmas tree

This year we decided to go to the mountains and cut down our Christmas tree.  The high was 20 degrees so it was a freezing day to go but we didn't have any other day that fit in our schedule so we bundled up and went anyway.  We woke up at 6 AM and drove an hour to the location, found and cut down our tree and got home at around 10.  The tree was a large Charlie Brown tree and it made me smile every time we looked at it.  It's imperfect weirdness brought me joy all month.  It was a surprisingly hardy tree because it barely dropped any needles and I think it would have survived for at least another month.
