EXTRA POINT
Every year we get our Christmas tree right around Mrs. BGA's birthday, which happens to be today. (Happy Birthday Mrs. BGA!)
Last year the search for the perfect tree was a struggle when we discovered several places where we had bought trees in the past had shut down. We ended up doing a huge loop back to where we regularly bought our trees when we lived on the shoulder of Moose Mountain. Because we didn't want to go through that rigamarole again, we were thrilled this summer when we discovered a new Christmas tree farm that clearly had a lot of beautiful trees. To make sure everything was kosher (funny word for this note, come to think of it) we took a drive by the tree farm several weeks ago to make sure we knew the way and to read their hours.
The sign told us they would kick off the season on Nov. 25 and be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
What the sign didn't tell us was their season would close on Dec. 4, which led to a nearly exact repeat of the rigamarole of a year ago that we so desperately wanted to avoid.
We ended up at our original tree farm and were fortunate to cut down a really sweet tree, but a lot of time was wasted and it's safe to say smiles were definitely lacking.
Seriously. Who stops selling Christmas trees on the first Sunday in December?
