"Are you ready?" Abel asks as I open my front door for him. He's bundled up and looks like a lumberjack from my favorite romance novel. I'm carrying a box full of stuff for what we're going to do today. He takes it from me, and holds it while I finish getting ready.
"I am. I'm so excited about this. I've never done anything like this before." I pull on my gloves before I step out of my house and then lock the door.
"It's not super exciting," he laughs. "We're going to be out in the cold for as long as it takes to find the perfect one."
"That's okay, we'll be together, and this is a first. I'm excited to experience it with you. Last year I didn't even have a Christmas tree, much less a real one."
"I've never had a real one before either. I had to ask Jasper how to go about chopping the tree down when we find it. He took me out a few times the past few weeks to show me how to do it."
