Getting Ready for Christmas

WARNING: Long post ahead!

We have been busy getting ready for the big day.

First we had to get a Christmas tree. On the morning after the big snow (in 30 degree weather) we headed off to find the perfect tree.

We also visited with Santa over breakfast to negotiate our Christmas lists.
