Design Crafters

Every Christmas I often think back to the days when I still lived in a part of the world that actually has Christmas tree farms. As a kid, my family and I would often go out to cut our own Christmas tree.  Every year I’d always hear of someone finding a squirrel, bird or even bat in their tree.  But none of those beat what we found in our tree…

One year we had the opportunity to go out into the real woods and cut our own wild tree. (We had the property owners permission of course). The fresh sparkling snow was covered with animal tracks of all kinds. We finally found our perfect tree. It was very tall, so it was just the top we were going to cut off.  We didn’t see any nests or animal homes in it, so we figured it would be ok to cut down. As the top of the tree was falling, something jumped out! It was a wildcat! I never heard of anyone finding that in their tree before :0). 

There were so many wonderful “kodak” moments that I thought “if only I had a camera with me”, I could have captured some great things. Live and learn I guess. But that was the problem, I never did learn. I always forgot the camera. I was probably too caught up in the excitement of it all.

This year, if you have a Christmas tree adventure, remember the camera and use those pictures for your photo Christmas cards.
