\u00a0<\/p>\n

We have a tradition in our house to spend a day out which includes getting a Christmas tree, getting good coffee, a good breakfast, and then decorating for Christmas.\u00a0 Last year, and other years past we would spend A LOT of time picking “the perfect tree” that would help bring Christmas to our house or apartment.\u00a0 Last year we probably spent 1 or 2 hours picking our tree in the snow.\u00a0 This year was different.\u00a0 We heard there were real trees here in Ecuador for purchase, but we figured they would be really expensive.\u00a0 Today we were on our way to do some Christmas shopping at the artesan market and saw a place that was selling trees.\u00a0 We decided to ask how much they were from the window.\u00a0 Within 3 minutes, we had a tree tied to the top of our car with a wooden “tree stand” to put it in.\u00a0 All for about $14! (Labor included!)\u00a0 It was quite a change from the hour or 2 last year!\u00a0 There was no turning the tree to see all angles and imaging it in our house, there was no smelling it or feeling it to see what it was like.\u00a0 When she told us the price and we said OK, that’s all it took!\u00a0 It was an interesting experience.\u00a0 We decided we bought our tree through the “drive thru” today!\u00a0 Since we are all about traditions, today started a new one in the Delp household in Ecuador!\u00a0 Here are a few pics from the day.\u00a0 Simeon likes the tree, probably the lights and sparkles of the bulbs, maybe the smell too!<\/p>\n

Blessings on YOU and your family in this day as your create or continue YOUR traditions…<\/div>\n
