24 Days Til Christmas



And we are off to get our Christmas tree. Every year, the tradition has been to go on the Friday after Thanksgiving to Holiday Farm and cut our own tree. However, Casey had to work both Friday and Saturday so we were left with Sunday to get the tree. We woke up to light snow and then sleet, but we decided to go anyways. Casey2 was home visiting and over early that morning. She ended up going with us. Erin pointed us to a faraway field that had a great selection of trees so off we went. For some reason they all started running.




We only got about one third of the way to our destination when we spotted the perfect tree. It was put on the cart and brought back down to the farm. It is now proudly standing in our family room beautifully decorated.

Today, Casey and I visited Neshaminy Manor nursing home with Wrapping Presence. It was a wonderful experience as always and I am so thankful to be a part of this wonderful organization. My shoppers (Evelyn, Jean, Pat, and Denise) were wonderful and I was pleased to help them "shop" for their loved ones.
