If Santa's checking his world-wide list twice I should be able to pull off 25 from my list.. I think I'm off to a good start!
*Green means accomplished!
25. Buy a Christmas tree from our annual tree farm and hang decorations the first weekend of December
24. Cut fresh trimmings from the tree and place in vases, trim a slice from the trunk to make a yearly ornament and do this trick. (after a long day and getting the tree home at 9pm we did not do this trick...so I don't know if it really works?)
