Hey everyone,

Last weekend me and my GF flew to her parents farm to find the perfect christmas tree.

As we only have about 4 horus of daylight these days we did not have alot of time. So on sunday me and Unnur and her dad who knows the forrest ran up the hill searching for the tree. The strange thing about this winter is the warmth. It should be covered in snow. But because it´s missing I had to carry the tree down the hill on my back.

After the 4 hours we had found 4 trees for my family and hers. Great day :)

Yikes!!! We need to get you some night vision goggles lol Nice to be able to get your tree right in your back yard. Some of us have to pay someone for them :confused: I like your way better. But how come you get the good job of hauling them down the hill?? :poke:

coinnut I know what you mean about the nightvision but this is something we are used to in Iceland. In the summer we have 24 hours of daylight :)

Thank Del
