Hunting for a Christmas tree

My experience is that Americans put up their Christmas tree as early as possible where as Swedes put it up close to Christmas. We normally decorated the day before Christmas (we celebrate on December 24) when I grew up, this year we did it a little earlier, December 21. First we had to find the tree… 

Ww found a few small ones…

… and one ”big” one.  The are no traditional Christmas trees on Fårö but the local trees are good, too :-)

Cutting down the tree…

Before being decorated…

Actually, Alex and I were not part of decorating the tree as we had dinner alone at restaurant Magasinet in Fårösund. It was so delicious!!

While we were gone this happened at the house…
