[Rapscallion St Croix]

We put up a tree but it is always a bit of a hassle. We rent a big place somewhere we can expect a White Christmas, and wait until the whole family arrives, buy a real tree and decorate it with the stuff we lugged with us...including a stand. We have learned to take a saw along to even the bottom. The White Christmas expectations have not been met the last few times but our ugly sweater cookie decorating contests are epic.
