Nicole Blanchard: Looking for holiday cheer, we cut our own Christmas tree

Nicole Blanchard: Looking for holiday cheer, we cut our own Christmas tree Nicole Blanchard, The Idaho Statesman © Dreamstime/Dreamstime/TNS A stand of densely packed, nature planted, pine trees growing on the slope of an Idaho mountain side. BOISE, Idaho If nothing else, 2020 has been a year of new experiences. It goes without saying that many of those have been due to the coronavirus pandemic wearing face masks, holding get-togethers via Zoom and worrying about toilet paper hoarders were certainly new experiences to me. So with the year drawing to an end and an unusual holiday season arriving, my boyfriend, Max, and I decided to join some friends in what was another first for me: cutting my own Christmas tree. I grew up in a firmly artificial-tree household. Each year, my sisters and I fanned out and decorated the same wiry, plastic green boughs and at the end of the season, the tree went back into its box in the garage.
