Last year we began our Christmas tree chopping tradition after the mister was tipped off about a tree farm by a work colleague. It’s one of my most cherished holiday rituals now and much more exciting to us than just buying a tree from the local nursery. Now, as a family, we are amazing terrible at missing deadlines….
