Couple Gets Stuck in Woods Searching For Christmas Tree

Friday, 04 December 2009 | by Pat's Picks

I’m planning to buy our Christmas tree this weekend ... from the place down the block. And I’m confident in that decision after reading about an Oregon couple’s harrowing trip to cut down their own. The Medford Mail Tribune says the couple was stranded in the woods for two freezing nights after their car got stuck in the ice while searching for the perfect Christmas tree. (It’s quite common in Oregon to get a permit from the forestry office to cut down a tree instead of buying one.)
