Oh Christmas tree

We happened to time the annual tree cutting expedition 
with Mr. Dub's back episode. The one where he throws out his back, and is incapacitated in such a way that he is unable to join us in our search for a Christmas tree. 
Key to this injured back story is the fact that HE is usually the one who cuts down the tree.
 That job fell to me this year.
I guess since the kids figured they did such an outstanding job SELECTING the tree.
They talked me through it.
 I was not prepared for the enormity of this task.
 I had to stop several times and talk to my biceps.
I'm actually not sure I have any.
I DO have a festive wreath,
 an obstinate snowman
 a reindeer with a sweet tooth
 AND, thankfully, a TREE.

Your tree is beautiful. I'll bet it was gorgeous when decorated.
