to me, part of the holiday season is going to the lot - we've found a family owned lot that has been in the same spot every year for 40 years, and they're super nice. you walk around the lot smelling pine as you look for the tree that will help you celebrate the season. once you find it, they cut the trunk so it smells even better, and then they tie it on your car.

and once you get it home, it smells like christmas
