Christmas Tree

Every year I look foward to getting the christmas tree with my dad, it used to be our whole family, but my mom always seems to be busy and my brother is a teenager and obviously too cool to do family things anymore, so now its just me and my dad. We usually wait until two weeks before christmas to get our tree and we get it from a local tree farm 15 minutes away from us.
My dad is so funny when picking out the tree because he looks them all over so carefully.. i really dont care, whatever looks big and pretty is good with me. I also love, love, love the smell of christmas trees!!!! It's one of my top scents.. anyways, after we pick out the tree we used to get to pick out a free ornament when we were kids, but we don't do that anymore.. so we just go back home.
One year our tree was too long to have in the back of the truck with the tail gate up so we had to keep the tail gate down and tie the tree to keep it from falling out.. so we drove home slow to make sure it wouldn't fall out and right before we went down the hill to get to our house, i looked behind us and the tree wasn't there.. and if you've seen Christmas Vacation with chevy chase I kinda thought of that movie and we seemed like them cause they had a hell of a time getting there christmas tree.. anyways we had dragged the tree behind us for god knows how many feet, and we got out and the bottom branches were all tangled and the tree was full of slush but we loved it anyway, it was kinda of battered but beautiful
