Advent Activity // Get A Christmas Tree + Drink Wassail

Thursday night Zac + I got our Christmas Tree :)  I was excited all day!  We went to Country Gardens again.  They are so nice + they serve wassail (a Christmas drink with mulling spices, orange juice, red hots, apple cider, etc.).  We knew we wanted a smaller tree, but the 5-6' were too small + the 8' were too big.  We found the perfect 7 1/2' skinny (or it seemed skinny at the time, haha) Fraser Fir.

Then we got dinner at our neighborhood Mexican place (Zac is obsessed with Mexican food!).  They have a guy that sings every Thursday night + he's pretty good.  We had him play "Time of the Season" by the Zombies (our current favorite song since the Yellow Ostrich concert).

Our tree barely fit...We had to cut off a little bit of the top.  It appeared much fuller once we brought it inside too, haha.

It was a fun night :)  Do you usually get a real tree or artificial? I'm all about the real trees (even though I'm sure I'm allergic!).  We always get Fraser Firs too.
