Get Out with your family, create a memory, and get a Christmas tree.

HWY 282 Low Water Bridge on the Frog Bayou

My wife Courtney and I started going out and cutting a live Christmas tree before we were even married. The first Christmas after we got married, we went to the Christmas tree farm and cut down a tree and brought it home to the duplex. I cut the netting off and to say the least we left marks on the door facing tugging that beast through the door. We have continued this tradition with our kids annually. This is a Get Out that we have been doing for over 20 years. Here in Arkansas you never know what the weather will be like. Sometimes it is freezing, sometimes we could go in shorts, sometimes the wind almost knocks you down, and sometimes there is even snow on the ground. We all go out together and choose our tree. Now that the kids are teenagers they know what Dad is going to say, we need a short and narrow tree because when we get it home and inside the house it is going to look a lot bigger than it does out here at the tree farm. This is a tradition that our entire family looks forward to every year for Christmas.
