Cutting Down the Tree

As a child we lived in the country. Every Christmas we would pull the tobaggan into the woods. After finding the perfect tree my mom would chop it down and we'd drag it back to the house. Once inside we would curl up in front of the fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa for them and a cup of hot herbal tea for me and warm up before decorating the tree.
