Christmas Tree Lot - Before



The Christmas tree lot is pretty well ready for the trees which are scheduled to arrive early on Tuesday morning...all 850 of them. Of course this will be only the first of several shipments of trees. When all is said and done and the season is over, we will have sold over 2,000 Christmas trees.

The first picture is of our Santa chair which was badly in need of refurbishing. Cecile put her summer hands-on painting lessons to good use and did a great job of bringing the chair back to life. The Santa chair is a favorite of families for photo memories of their trip to pick out their Christmas tree. When our trees arrive, we will frame the chair with fresh trees which will make for great photo opportunities. The second picture is a "before" picture of the lot without trees. I will post again with pictures after the trees arrive and are put into place.

Drum roll please . . . the trees will be there in just a few hours. Good luck, pace yourselves, and just keep thinking of the bonus and the cruise—the light at the end of the tunnel!

Nice job on Santa, Cecile! His halo is glowing!
