On December 1st, we went shopping for a Christmas tree at Sooth’s. They have their trees in a greenhouse so you’re protected from the elements and they hang the trees from the ceiling so you can turn to the trees to see it from all sides. The location and set up are nice but the staff is RIDICULOUSLY friendly and helpful. We love going there every year!

Getting ready to pay. Please notice that the Food Detective (Matthew) has found the baked goods:

The very friendly guy manning the register asked if he could take a picture of all of us. We said “yes” and he asked us to say “Ho! Ho! Ho!” Do you like the stupid expressions on our faces!?!?! LOL (Mental note: never ask someone to say “Ho! Ho! Ho!” if you plan to take their picture!)

One of my most favorite ornaments:

That ornament reminds me of Grammy and Papaw Singer’s tree. When we were really little, we used to sleep at their house Christmas Eve and wake up to toys under the tree Christmas morning. Glass ornaments always remind me of those Christmases.
