(Loren Holmes / ADN) For the first time in many years I have not obtained a solitary problem about Xmas trees. How could this be? It is difficult to fathom that no one particular wishes to know what I feel is the very best tree or that no one is nervous about needle fall. Is it just also early?

He replied, “You just start cutting and you’ll see. It will reveal itself to you, like cutting hair. It’s mystical.”…
