This year, we procrastinated and procrastinated about getting our Christmas tree. The sun sets at 3:45pm these days, so after school wasn’t feeling fun. And in true Bri’ish style, the weekends were rainy and windy. Like blow-your-trees-and-your-fence-down windy!
When we finally caught a break, it turned into the most beautiful and fun day!
While we weren’t ambitious enough to cut down our own tree, we were going to try a different tree source from last year, in Elveden Forest. We arrived to be pleasantly surprised with food trucks, kids’ entertainment, and even reindeer! I’m a sucker for a reindeer meet cute!
After selecting our tree, the kids were tasked with wrapping it.
Then, we asked a beautiful pair of Newfoundlands to help us lug it to the car.
In true T2 style, she got right in there and jumped at the chance to lead the dogs.
These are actually working Newfoundlands, who haul Christmas trees to raise funds for their water rescue missions.
This will certainly go down as one of my favorite tree-selection trips! Despite the revival of “When can we get a dog?” questions.
