The White House Christmas Tree

Well, okay, maybe the tree wasn't for the White House, but it was an important tree nonetheless; it's for Christmas at my brother's house. They are hosting about 40 people for dinner on Christmas Eve and wanted a really nice tree for the event, so we offered one from our property. We found a beautiful tree that wasn't all windblown and lopsided and manged to load it into my dad's truck for the journey down the mountain. I hear it almost fell on their grand piano when they brought it in the house and set it up, but that seems like a small price to pay for the perfect tree!
