What a great post. I think Starr needs to come across the pond in that new yet to be named "rig" and go on the next tree outing. He seems to have like stories about the great hunt for the Christmas tree. My guess is once that tree is up in the house each year you all laugh over and over again about "the hunt for the perfect tree".
