When we moved to the San Francisco Bay Area and into the home that we've lived in for 8 years, I determined that for Christmas we would get a tree that reach to the top of our 22 ft high ceiling. We found a huge and perfect tree at Four Winds Ranch. The tree was so heavy, we could bearly lift it up the stairs to our second floor living room. We also chose to bring the tree in tip first. Big mistake! We hadn't even cleared the first landing and the tree was unraveling in the stairway. For the next 2 hours, the tree remained stuck in our stairwell.by: Lydie Thomas
