For many years now my husband and his family have always traveled to a tree farm in the Santa Cruz Mountains to find THE perfect tree, to chop it down and bring home to decorate. They still do this and we will be continuing this tradition with our kids too. Every year its different it could be raining, windy or the sun can be shining brightly! For sure we will all find THE tree, have a wonderful after Thanksgiving lunch and then head home to put up THE tree and decorate.
