Going to go cut my Christmas Tree

[S.A. Boggs]

In about 5 months! People will be complaining about the cold and snow then, the heat will be forgotten.

It's been cold and wet here for months. Sun one day, rain the next for three months. Anybody complaining about the nice warm weather may get hurt. And November is too early to kill a tree. November is deer season too. snicker.

As I mentioned before people go "ape s**t crazy" here when they see cut Christmas trees for sale. They buy them all up by Thanksgiving and end up with a nice, stale smelling, fire hazard, brown Christmas tree come Christmas morning so cutting one now is not much different.

Due to our hot semitropical climate here we are limited to cedars and short needle white pines for live trees and have to depend upon cut trees being shipped in from the North if a different variety is wanted. Anyway, we get large shipments in November then nothing. I guess the demand closer to where they are grown outweighs trucking them down South as Christmas grows closer. In our case the kids are grown. Christmas isn't the same anymore for us so we just opt for a pre-lit artificial tree. We had a small storm pass through a couple of nights ago so my yard is filled with downed pecan limbs. Some are 8" or so. Having to cut them up, pack them on back of my truck and dump them at our burn pile.
