It has become my favorite day of the year, hiking through the woods to pick and chop the perfect Christmas tree. After growing up buying fancy tree-lot trees, there is something so special about finding the quirky one and giving it a home (even though you are really just killing it -- think of it as forest fire maintenance).
This year as always we forgot cash to buy the permit so we had to go ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK and then ALL THE WAY BACK to the SNRA (Sawtooth National Recreation Area) before setting out on my beloved adventure. Since Christmas is (thankfully) over, I hope you enjoy the pictures I gathered of our magnificent day and magnificent 'kill'.
