I know, strange pics for finding a Christmas tree. Well, we started going to a local fire station near Chapel Hill a few years ago. There are very few places to "cut" your own tree around here unless you head to the mountains. So, you are left to hit tree lots with pre-cut trees delivered daily.
This lot is at a small "country" fire station. The firemen are super nice to Kyle. They always help with the tree and then start playing with the kids. Kyle gets to sit in the trucks, turn on the lights and sirens, and climb all over! Really, he could care less that we are also there to buy a tree. As you can see in the pic, they also give the kids a fireman hat and a small coloring book. Kind of a neat little "tradition" we have started I guess.
We still always talk of going to the mountains near Ashville with another family for the weekend and cut trees while we are there.... maybe when the kids are older??
