The Sports Widow Spreads "Christmas Cheer"

One of our annual Christmas traditions is to take a ferry out to Vashon Island, WA, and go to a U-Cut-Your-Own Christmas Tree farm called "Augie's".
We've been doing this for 15+ years. Our traveling companions are my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, her husband and my niece and nephew.We bring homemade muffins on the ferry and thermoses of hot chocolate to warm us while we tromp around the farm looking for the perfect Christmas tree (we also get greens and a wreath in the package).
One year we returned with the sorriest, most pathetic, scraggly looking tree you've ever seen in your life but, if you're into stats, our average is pretty good and we haven't repeated this (good thing, because it was so forlorn, it bummed me out every time I looked at it).
My brother-in-law Steve is one of the only people I know who rivals me in his aptitude for silliness (yes, I think he's a MENSA too, but he hasn't been tested), so he worked with me on a few Christmas Cheers for your viewing pleasure. By the way, this is our video debut, so go easy on us. I was channeling my B cheerleading squad roots from Shorewood Intermediate School days, and I'm not sure what Steve was channeling (he may have inhaled too much pine scent, which can be intoxicating), but take a look and decide for yourself!
I challenge you to develop your own Christmas Cheers, but feel confident--perhaps even cocky--that you won't ever be able to surpass the profound line: "All the way down, all the way down, all the way down the trunk, HEY."
