The note in the envelope (of our advent calendar) said "let's go to Kananaskis to cut down the perfect Christmas tree". So off we went, with our warm winter gear, a saw and rope, and a thermos full of hot carob. I had always pictured cutting down a tree from a tree farm, or something like it, but here, once you get your 5$ permit, you are free to hike into the woods pretty much anywhere in the forest (within a certain boundary) and cut down up to 3 trees. It was a great family activity, and very special to cut down our own tree!
