Yup – we are the real – fresh Christmas tree types… every year we head off into the planted rows of trees to find that perfect reflection of the holiday and bring it into our home to be adorned with decorations spanning our lives. It’s usually a momentous occasion… this year was really no different except for the weather.
See – we picked the weekend in December where the winds were gusting and the temperature was dropping… fast… both.
As in – the wind chill was 4F…
SO – one of us here – had a face mask on to keep warm… kinda a “Nightmare Before Christmas” sort of thing if you ask me.
At any rate – we have the tree – the frost bite has thawed out – and we are busy planning the menu and decorations for another full house this Christmas at Chicken Thistle Farm!


Nothing like bringing a little fear in with the Christmas spirit!
