Last weekend we got our first live Christmas tree! In the past we were always headed to Illinois for a couple of weeks so we would put up a fake tree. So, we bundled up the kids and headed to the Christbaum-Center ("baum" meaning tree, of course). 
It was a nice tree farm close to another American military housing area. They had tons of trees that you could cut down yourself or they had an area where you could select fro
m some of their trees which they had already cut. We opted to pick from a pre-cut tree in the 35 Euro price range. The boys had a good time checking out all the trees and running around the tree farm, even though temperatures were a lil brisk.
We only brought one bin of Christmas decorations with us and left the rest of our holiday stuff in storage back in the states. We did pretty well
with what we brought. We had to pick up a tree stand, tree skirt, and 220V Christmas lights but that's about it. Our tree is not huge but it is perfect for our little home. And the boys had a blast decorating the bottom half of the tree with kid friendly ornaments. Some of which they delighted in the fact that they hand-made.
