We have a tree farm next to us and every year for 14 days straight, 8 hours a day before Thanksgiving, they are out there with a leaf blower blowing clean every one of the 10,000 trees. Arggh.

But then for the next few weeks we hear the families out there having a blast finding the best tree on the farm and it makes up for all the noise.

You can't replace those moments going out and cutting a tree with the family. But I suppose once the kids grow up, plastic is a good alternative.
