We had a great trip into the mountains to cut this tree. We put it in a bucket of water outside to hold until we brought it in. But the water froze... So we had to bring the tree/bucket into the garage to thaw and it wouldn't fit. So we opened up the attic trap door and two feet of the tree went up there while we waited for the bucket of water to thaw. Luckily we have vaulted ceilings in the house so we did not have to cut too much off the tree.
Chucky got his first ornament in the mail last week from a very dear and thoughtful cousin. What a wonderful way to remember his first Christmas with us!
This funny looking thing with chicken feet is an ornament tree. I bought it to display some of my smaller ornaments. I also figured it would suffice if there was a time when we might not be able to put up a real tree. But I am not too sure about that now....Today we will be smoking a prime rib roast in the UDS - ugly drum smoker. We are using a beef seasoning that we found earlier this month. It is from the Spade L Ranch and it tastes so good I could just eat it with a spoon right out of the jar! Tramp 1 has already requested that I take pictures - these guys and their cooking... I think of all the years I have cooked and no one took pictures of all my food!!
Merry Christmas from Tramp's Camp!!!

That prime rib must be wonderful; I like you chicken feet tree.

A splendid and very tall tree. Good thing you had that trap door. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. That is a sweet ornament for a very special dog.
A memorable Christmas for sure. How is Chucky feeling? Was he back in the pink for the holiday festivities? - Margy
