Luxury getaways to the ocean's edge
We finally got our Christmas tree. It’s a bit sparse (shades of Charlie Brown, anyone?), but we love it just the same. It is very proudly from Newfoundland, and as such stands tall with it own unique charm and personality. We’ve got some more ornaments to add, and once it’s fully dressed to the nines, we’re sure it’ll be a ten!
Clark/Jerry: We’re kicking off our fun old fashion family Christmas by heading out into the country in the old front-wheel drive sleigh to embrace the frosty majesty of the winter landscape and select that most important of Christmas symbols.
Audrey/The Berry: We’re not coming all the way out here just to get one of those stupid ties with Santa Clauses on it are we?
Clark/Jerry: No, I have one of those at home.

(Perhaps sadly), no movie captures my approach to Christmas quite like Christmas Vacation. What can I say – I like to go all out and for better or worse I’m a big family guy, so I identify with Clark! And now that we’re living in rural Newfoundland, I came one step closer to the movie – we cut down our own tree.
With The Berry, Joe and Murphy along, we set out to find the perfect tree. It is just a bit smaller than the infamous one from the movie, but still stunning. We’re waiting for my daughter to stay with us before we decorate – I can’t wait!
And remember we still have a contest to win a free stay at the cottages – make sure you add your name to the list. Maybe you’ll be out in this winter wonderland with us!
