Saturday, December 13th The Cutting of the Christmas Tree
 |
| The tree for us is right in the front row...tall and thin to fit into the corner of the living room |
 |
| Don sets to sawing it down....after digging through a foot of snow to get to the base. |
 |
| A special machine shakes the tree and gets the snow off |
 |
| Then the tree travels through a tying up machine |
 |
| and the guys tie the knots |
 |
| and on the way home we stop at Stone Corral Brewery for a little beer tasting! |
