Well, Merry Christmas to you and yours! DH's family runs a Tree Farm, so the more "old-fashioned" customers like you that we can continue to hold on to, the better!
We've been forced into selling potted Christmas Trees in the winter and all types of pine and hardwoods in the spring because the cutting of fresh Christmas Trees just ain't what it used to be, now that the EnviroWackos have everyone convinced that a pine tree feels pain and is an 'endangered spiritual entity' and not the renewable resource it truly is. *Rolleyes*
And a Merry Christmas to you too!
We usually do the tree farm but always get a permit from the forestry dept. to go up in the "hills" near Mt Rainier to cut down a tree. It's usually more trouble than it's worth hiking miles into the back country in four feet of snow dragging the kids, then realizing you left the saw in the truck when you find the perfect tree.
I haven't heard anything from the tree huggers here in Washington about cutting down trees. They do find a way to ruin everything it seems. Then again it's hard to not trip over douglas firs and nobles around my house.
