Merry Christmas

Here is a mobile phone photo of our tree. I'll post some others later (sure, sure). This is our first "real" tree. For our first Christmas many years ago, we had bought a nice artificial tree that was small and easy to manage. It is still a very nice tree, but now sits in our pub.

This year we went all out and bought a big Fraser Fir from a lot on the side of the road near the house. We had grand plans of going to a tree farm and picking out one or better yet, finding a live tree to plant in the DeerCamp tradition, but settled on this very nice tree instead. The photo below shows the arrival of our first tree, delicately balance on top of the car. Yes, I was more concerned about the car finish than getting the tree home, but everyone survived.
