Since random acts of artwork are showing up around the city.. someone needs to create a LIVE Christmas tree for 24 hours...
Get a set of bleachers. all wear green and sing Christmas caroles.. the possibilities are endless.

They used to do the Live Christmas tree at the one little church in Elton. I don't know if they still do it or not, haven't gone there for awhile, but it was very cool.

In Cambria and Somerset counties cutting your neighbor's tree is more likely to get one shot than to have one's  hand cut off.

that's funny Smiley  I remember one year when Askey the game warden got shot at too

I had my first real tree last year and it will be my last.  We had this really big two story great room and I thought it deserved a giant tree. So we went out to the tree farm and cut down a tree that was bigger then the hubs expedition.  Getting it home was quite an adventure and so was getting it into the house.  We had to use a ladder to decorate it.  It was a lovely until the pine needles started falling off.

any how they have an association:

and as far as the pine scent you can buy that Smiley

As a child, Dad used to take us to Blough's (i think), which was out Somerset Pike.  I remember we had to cross a little bridge, and they had this building with a fireplace, refreshments, etc.....i thought this place was the best.   You cut down your won tree. We used to walk forever till we found just the right one.   Could not wait to go back the following year.  Sh!tload of trees.....I revisited this place sometime this past year.....it's allgrown in.....Not sure what happened.....you would think they would plant more tree's and keep that farm going......i was saddened.  Oh well....
