"I have always thought of Christmas as a time to spend together without the routine and hustle and bustle of everyday life, a time for family to enjoy simple things together.

One of the simple activities of many Newfoundland families is the hunt for the perfect Christmas tree. In the drawing I tried to depict a small, young family leaving their house to go look for that special tree, but I think the young boy already had his sights set on one in particular, as he leads his Mom and Dad straight to it shouting, "That One!"
