OH Christmas Tree!

Oh Christmas tree....not like the song...as in DARN YOU Tree!

This tree my children are decorating, is not the current tree in my house.  The Sunday after Thanksgiving, we went to Food Lion and purchased a tree.  We've done this in years past and had not problems at all.  We took the tree home, cut off the bottom and placed it in a large bucket of water for twenty four hours.  Put the tree up and decorated it.  Moses loved it!  He was so excited.

A week went by, and the tree never drank any water.  Brett took all the decorations off, cut off the bottom again, and drilled a hole in it.  Two more days go by and still no drinking.  At this point if you looked at this tree wrong it would shed its needles!  Brett went to Food Lion and told them what happened.  They offered him a refund or a new tree.  After checking out what was leftover he took his money and left!

After all of that, we went to the farmer's market where our sob story landed us a discount on the most beautiful Christmas tree we've ever had.  Before Brett could go to the ATM and get the man his cash, he had cut off the bottom and tied it to our truck.  I'm a farmer's market tree buyer FOR LIFE!  Now, anytime anyone mentions our tree, Moses will ask me to tell them the story of our two trees.  Yes sweet boys, we loved you so much that we decorated two trees for you this year!
