A long way to go

I have never been as close to buying an artificial tree in my life.  I was at my daughter's house and the tree was up- pre lit!  I mean, I knew it existed, but it's real!  We went out and bought our real tree this morning.  For the past 10 years or so, our goal has been to buy the first tree that we look at.  And we do. Fraser fir and they have all been gorgeous.  It's in the stand and the lights are on, so the hardest part is done.
