It was cold, snowy and icy, we only had a little bit of light before dark, and we lost the other group we went with.  It cost $5, about 2 hours, some gas and some shivers.  But we came home with a tree to decorate, a nice time with their Aunt Elizabeth, and another memory of going to the woods to find and cut down a Montana Christmas tree.  I still like this option better than just buying one at the store.
