Eau de Balsam Fir

We went to the lot just up the road at Chocolate Lake last night, to pick out a Christmas tree. Got a good full one, about 7' tall. Prices have gone up this year - it cost us $35! I'll never get used to having to pay money for a Christmas tree.

We got it home and laid it out in the hallway, to warm up. The scent from it is unusually strong. Lying in bed last night, it wafted up the stairs and into our room - to the point where I nearly got up and shut the door because it started to bother me! Which is odd, because normally I love the smell of a fir tree - but it will fade, I'm sure, as the tree dries out. Must be a nice fresh one.
