Well I did it last week but have just got around to posting about it now, I killed it (with much remorse), for my wife. My wife made me take a life just to appease her ego. Now the decomposing corpse is in my house on display like some sick twisted homage to a carnival side show.

In case I wasn't clear, I meant that my wife and I went and cut down a Christmas tree. We got a NFS license to kill, National Forest Service Christmas Tree Permit, for 5 dollars and then drove 40 or so miles out into the forest to hunt down and murder a tree. It was cold, wet, and hilly. I fully believe that anyone that wants to have a dead tree in their house should have to kill it themselves.

One highlight though, we got to stop for square ice-cream on the way back home. In any case here are some pictures of the destruction.



On a happier note we finished getting all the presents wrapped today, then again it took about 70 dollars total to mail the lot of them :-( ohhh well, We are off the hook till May when we have 3 Mothers day Presents, and 3 birthday Presents (for the same three people) to buy.
