The Search for the Perfect Tree...

This year, we decided to start a new family tradition. I actually have to give the credit to Shayne, because it was his heart that was set on not only having a real Christmas tree, but picking it and having it cut just for us. We really wanted to go to a place that provided an "experience," but we didn't want to have to travel too far to get it. After a quick internet search, we came across the Boyd Moutain Tree Farm. Why is it the both of us have lived in Haywood County all our lives and not known about this little gem? It was great. The whole operation was very well organized and the staff was extremely nice. There were many many trees to pick from, free hot chocolate and cookies, and of course, Santa was there for a free picture.

All three of us had a great time and look forward to carrying out this tradition for many more years to come!
