Hunting for Christmas Trees 2011.

Tree Hunting  [Tuh-ree Huhn-ting]
verb

1. The act of adventuring in the mountains to find the perfect wild christmas tree. Trees may be rather scrawny and windwarn from standing on the peaks overlooking valleys of green and being pelted by snow. Often times people view mountain hunted trees as being weak and undesirable, but no. They are the tough trees that must face nature at it's roughest and survive- they are the real trees that deserve to bear the name of christmas.
2.  How real men find  christmas trees.
