Mini Challenge: A group of....

I love to choose my tree too, this year we cut it from our garden.

I would love to have a real tree also, but it's much cheaper to set up the fake one we already have:D ... What a great view you have here though!

Beautiful. I would love to be able to visit a tree farm and pick out my own tree. What a wonderfully memorable moment you'll have.

Great shot! I don't think we have any "tree farms" here in southcentral Alaska (not sure about the rest of the state), though we are able to get permits to drive out in the country and cut down a "wild" tree of our choice :) Great take on the challenge - TFS! -- kimB **ETA** DH says we do have a local tree farm, but I guess they aren't very good quality (we're not known for fat, fluffy conifers in our part of the state).

My mum and dad had real trees, we never had one!

cool! We've never picked our own - Christmas trees don't grow around here! :) What a fun tradition...

My favorite king of Christmas tree!

very picky here as well! We cut them down a few times as a kid. I loved it!

How fun! I look forward to having a tree next year!

ooh I WISH we could do this!

I really like firs, they show off the ornaments so well, but the tree farm here has mostly Scotch Pines.

Great family tradition. I don't do the real tree thing, allergies and that story of the little fur tree when I was little I just can't cut a tree down.

We have an artificial tree. We used to get real trees, but I always grew attached to them. About five years ago, we had one that was starting to burgeon when we had to "kill" it. I felt so sad, like a little child. I prefer my fake tree. But I miss the smell.

What a great idea! I have only done that once but it was fun.

looks like there are a nice bunch there to choose from

How wonderful to be able to get your own tree. While we were getting ours I met a man who said that a long time ago he used to go out into the woods to find one and it often meant a 3-day trip!
