Christmas Tree Hunt
One of my favorite traditions is our annual tree hunt! Since I was a little girl I remember this day and looked forward to it every year. We all meet at my Nonna’s house, get into cars and back in the day, we used walkie talkies to communicate in-between vehicles. We would travel to the tree farm (or farms) and wander the rows of trees in search of the perfect one. One that wasn’t too big, or too small, or too wide, or too narrow. You can imagine how this process was a slow one at times.
Once the tree was selected my aunt Zia Gisa had this great idea to hold hands around the tree and sing ‘Yahoo Dore’ from the grinch, this tradition has stuck all these years later. Once the trees were packed and in the trailer, we would have a ‘picnic’ filled with homemade goodies like freshly cured sausages. We would huddle around the trunk of the car and tailgate with our feast, hot chocolate, and apple cider. Simply the best.
Check out a recap of this year’s tree hunt in this video my husband made with our GoPro.
