Getting our Christmas tree in Kalispell MT

I love your post and video! You found the perfect one! Its perfect. Love where you put it too so you can look out your gorgeous windows and enjoy that spectacular view!!

Hello Kat - Christmas tree spirit is so individual, isn't it? 

In my life, I experienced growing up with real tree (from a lot, mind you no saw or sled needed), fake (before artificial became the almost acceptable term)t hat was stored away in the garage until the next year.   

And, get this, a year when we had an aluminum one (long before retro became cool again). Add to that assortment, I have memories of flocked trees (white never pastel shades).   So, Christmas trees are part of my adolescence. 

There have been many adult years where there was no tree in the house where I lived.  It wasn't a Bah Humbug spirit but other priorities around the holidays.  You know, life and such. 

I like your tree and the story of how it can be yours' too.  

Hi Kat,

Your tree is perfect!  I am imagining the smell as I write this!

I love the smell of a freshly cut Christmas Tree.  Over the last 50 years, we have done it all except going into a forest to cut one down. In the past, we cut a tree down at a Christmas tree farm, which was always a lot of fun.  It was a family affair.  We have done the artificial tree thing as well.  It is not the same.  It has been around 20 years since we had an artificial tree, but this year we decided to get one because we would be gone and couldn't keep it watered.  I am happy with the decision we made. I will probably get a fresh wreath to enjoy the smell of the pine inside the house.  

I absolutely love this post and video. Thank you for sharing Kat🎅

Wow, you made me appreciate unboxing my artificial tree for the 25th season LOL.

But seriously, a beautiful tree and what a scene out that window of yours!

Kat Palmiotti - you picked the perfect Christmas Tree and it sure looks lovely! Your house must smell wonderful! Loved the video and how you illustrated your point about how you arrived at your selection. Also, it was great that Hercules got to be a part of your perfect Christmas Tree hunt on your property. 

In Illinois I always had a live tree. At the last place I lived before moving to TX was a Tree Farm and the last tree I cut down was with my son while my daughter was away at school. I miss those days and your video got me thinking of how exciting it was to pick and choose your own tree. 

As always, you did a great job! Plus, I love where you put the tree by that great view outside your window. 

Good morning, Kat... love your tree, love your little video. But that being said, I've had artificial trees for at least 25 years and I'm sticking with them. I'll just enjoy yours vicariously.

Good morning Kat. Truth be told I like a fresh Tree. That said the first year we lived in a downtown hirise we had a fresh tree and it was lovely. The holidays over we had to remove it. Let's just say it took quite some time to vacuum up the needles in the hallway. Since then artificial is the way to go. Enjoy your day.

I am staring at your tree Kat and admiring how beautiful it looks by your window looking out at your spectacular view. Your video is ADORABLE! 

You chose a great tree, it looks amazing!  I prefer a live tree as well but I don't even put up a tree or anything else in my own home, haha.

Very cool Kat, and you do have lots of land to find that perfect tree.  Loved your video!

I have never had the experience of cutting down a tree for Christmas.

Enjoy the holidays and have a Very Merry Christmas.

Kat I have had many years of both real and artificial trees, but never a year without a tree.  These days with no little ones around it comes out of a box in one peace .... LOL

I came back to enjoy your post once again. We have gone out and searched for trees until we found that my son was allergic to something about fir trees 🎅

Kat - I love your tree against the trees outside your window.  That is a Christmas card.
