Scarlett squeegees window Christmas morning 2017.

It’s Christmas day, and it’s kinda cool outside.  So, we needed to clean the window.  Someone should ask why Samantha’s stocking it so big compared to everyone else.  Auntie Sam was the baby when Uncle Vincent and my dad were her older brothers.  They used to tease Auntie Sam, I was told.

Scarlett and her Dad help set up Christmas Tree.
This is the Christmas Tree Grandpa and Uncle Vincent and Scarlett found when we drove a long time away.  We figured out that Florida definitely does not grow naturally the types of trees we like.  They are too skinny and week branches. These Fraser Firs have much thicker looks and feels and are best grown in North Carolina.

Scarlett went with Grandpa and Uncle Vincent to Middleburg FL (about 1 hour and 20 minutes away) to look for a live Christmas tree. This didn’t work out (although I got new sneakers) because Florida does not have the kind of trees that we are used to… BUT, we did pass by a Christmas Tree shop along the way on Route 16 and we found a tree from North Carolina.

We had to drive a long way because no one had Big trees as a result of the hurricanes, they said.  The big box stores have smaller skinny ones.  It was kinda cool though to think we could cut our own.
