On Christmas Trees

12/3/2015

O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
Not only green when summer's here,
But also when 'tis cold and drear.  
Traditional
Last Friday, November 27th, was "Black Friday."  We forego the traditional shopping frenzy associated with this day after Thanksgiving for a different shopping tradition.  We go Christmas Tree shopping.  We do our shopping pretty much in the same place every year at  Beaver Brook Farm in Sussex County NJ.  We have been going here from many years to buy our trees from Laurie and Sam who operate the farm.  There is always hot cider and cookies and a helping hand getting that tree loaded onto the car.

After the tree is loaded onto the car we always stop at the small town of Lafayette NJ.  We browse through the Antique Mall there which is decked out in Christmas decor.

Then we head to the Millside Cafe to have lunch (because it is the only restaurant in town) and then we check out the treats at the Chocolate Goat.

This  Black Friday shopping tradition is our  way of getting into the Christmas spirit.

Have a fun day!
