Christmas Tree Farm

Sandy remembers fondly those times when her family visited Missouri’s Christmas Tree Land when she was a girl. She and I last visited this tree farm in Spencer County, Indiana on our first Christmas together just days before our wedding. This year, with the boys walking and the Roe Grands visiting for Thanksgiving, we thought it might be fun to renew this family holiday tradition. The trip had two goals; to select a tree and take a Christmas card photo. Because of the boys’ age and unbridled curiosity, we felt an artificial tree in the house would be best. However, we thought a cut live tree would make a wonderful front yard focal point. To complete the holiday traditions theme, we plan to decorate it with the large old-fashioned outside lights that annually adorned the Roe’s Kansas City home for so many years.
