the silentfool.

Christmastime.

Today I traversed through a vast field searching for that one and only tree which I would welcome into my home, dress it, and treat it like royalty preparing for a ball (at least until Jan 1, when it gets tossed into a ditch somewhere). This was my first tree hunting experience. Most of the years I spent growing up we had an artificial tree and in the years we didn't, I wasn't interested I guess. I really had a good time to be honest, I kept having visions of "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation", when the family is trudging through snow for hours until all of the sudden, there it is, The Tree. I kept imagining that I would see a tree and light would shine down on it like it was chosen of God, but alas it didn't happen. We ended out finding a good tree though...I cut it myself and drug it out of the field...I felt very manly.

The tree is now in my living room, properly decorated and waiting for gifts to join it. Ah, it's Christmastime...
