World's Greatest Christmas Tree

So, it's that time of year. Christmas is almost here and after working away on my annual "Best of" slideshow(which you can check out here if you haven't seen it yet: http://www.directmotocross.com/news/features/2010/12/james-lissimores-best-2010-slideshow) I needed to spruce my house up with a little Christmas cheer. Since I live in my Grandfather's old farm house here in Abbotsford, I wanted to keep a tradition alive that was always a part of the festive season here on the farm: He would always get the barest looking tree he could find, drape it in a set of outdoor lights and call it a day. The so called "Charlie Brown" Christmas tree. It's one of those things that I always associate with Christmas here on the farm so I figured since this is the first Christmas since he passed away, I needed to keep the tradition alive. So, last Saturday, my friend Jackie and I hiked through the forest behind my house and found this beauty. Sure enough, the old lights were still hanging in the garage so with the lights and a few decorations we were done.

I love it, it reminds me of good times with my Grandfather

Merry Christmas
