Today is the day my family brings home our Christmas tree. Do they go to a lot? No. Do they have a plastic tree? No.
They drive 2+ hours into the mountains, cut one down and bring it home, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation style.
For reasons unknown, I've never made this trek in the wilderness, I've either been working, or lately, 1600 miles away. Of all the traditions that I miss around this time of year, this is NOT one of them.
What sort of crazy traditions do you have? Ones you avoid?

Just wanted you to know that tree cutting went well this year. In years past, we bring up food and a stove and search for that perfect tree. This year we went there, found a tree, had a beer and left. It was fun to watch all the do-gooders up there (must be from Seattle or Issaquah or Bellevue or Redmond or???). These people are clueless of how to drive on a single lane road and they don't understand that you cannot stand in the middle of the road on a single lane dirt road. Anyways, it was fun. We stopped by the tavern on the way back and had lunch and some beers while we sat by they nice fire in the fireplace.
