O Christmas Tree

Amy and Leigh helped with the tree selection.

Our Christmas tree is up. For the last few years we have purchased our tree at Bottoms Christmas Tree Farm here in Cumming and that's where this year's tree came from as well. Dennis and Sandra Bottoms are so nice and helpful and they have great trees (shameless plug!). At any rate, we got a beautiful 8-foot Fraser Fir and had a fun morning out at their farm which is less than five miles from our house.

Obtaining and decorating the Jackson family tree is a big deal. We've always had live trees and each year we decide that particular year's tree is the best we've ever had. This year is no exception; our tree is spectacular.

Now that the tree is up and the house is decorated it's time to enjoy my favorite time of the year. That includes good football games to watch, Christmas Specials to watch on TV, and catching up with friends and family since I've been out of the loop for a while. Looking forward to every moment of it.
