It’s time for another post with pictures of our Christmas tree. This year’s tree is a good looking Frasier Fir from Hozak Farms. We usually buy our tree at Janoski’s, but their selection this year wasn’t too great. They had a lot of trees, but they were bare in spots and appeared to have been hastily pruned. There were lots of twisted & broken branches. We left Janoski’s to try our luck at the nearby Chiodo Farms, but they were out of business and their property was for sale. Sad. So we looked up directotions to Hozak’s and found them to have a great selection of trees and some friendly doggies there to help us choose.

Read on for a few more pictures. We hope everyone has a great holiday season.

This is my attempt to make the trains run a little more quietly. The Lionel FasTrack system looks great and goes together easily, but it’s not exactly quiet. Hard plastic with a hollow underside screwed to hard plywood sort of acts like an amplifier. I took up the track and put some sill seal under it. It helped a lot. It’s still noisy, but you no longer have to shout when the trains are running.

This is Christmas coming to visit for the holidays:

The weather just made it feel right for Christmasizing the house.

The tree is ready for Christmas to start:
