Hunting The Wild Christmas Tree

The snow was blowing and it was nearly dark, but the hunt could not be put off.  We went to the tree farm at Young's Dairy in Yellow Springs as we have for a number of years.  Folks actually make the trip from out of state to buy their Christmas trees there.  We were in luck, as there were no Fraser fir trees in the ground.  So we were limited to the selection near the sales shack with its fabulously warm wood stove.  Ethan spent most of his time drinking hot cocoa there, leaving the actual hunting to his dad and I.  At last the proper tree for the Hensels was selected and we headed home with the trophy tied to the luggage rack.  And we made it home just in time for dinner!  Next week Patricia and I will be doing our Christmas tree hunt at the same place.
