Earlier this week, Emma and I went on a field trip with her class to the Christmas Tree Farm. We went on a hay ride out to the section of the farm where the children were to pick out a tree that they would later decorate and place in their classroom.The owner of the farm, a kind lady, explained that we would be seeing Christmas trees that were similar to the one Charlie Brown picked in A Charlie Brown Christmas. Although these trees were pretty in their own way, they were a bit less desirable than many of the others. The Charlie Brown trees had imperfections, however the children seemed oblivious to them. They ran around the farm, examining each of the trees and it seemed like they all wanted to choose a different one. Eventually, they decided upon a medium sized one.
I was thankful to have shared the Christmas Tree Farm experience with my daughter and hope to bring the rest of the family back next year (even if we do have a fake tree).
