O Christmas Tree!

Seems we are running out of time to visit the tree farm in Milton this year. With Christmas two weeks ago, and the kids asking when we were going to get a Christmas tree, we jumped in the Yukon and headed down Lakeshore to Port Credit where we purchased this years Christmas Tree, a 7ft Fraser Fur for the bargain price of $50, from a short little Italian man who move to Canada 52 years ago. He came to Canada from Italy and opened a butcher shop in Little Italy in downtown Toronto. He retired many years ago, and sells Christmas trees around the holiday and flowers in the Spring. Sweet old man who enjoyed MacDaddy and Lil' Lefty's song and dance with Christmas tree branches.


O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
How often has the Christmas tree
Afforded me the greatest glee!
