This year we got a REAL tree. I've never had a real tree.
We went through and picked the perfect one out. Decorated it! It smells so nice!!!
The guy at the tree place even cut a piece of the trunk off so I could make a "my first real
tree" ornament! I was so giddy over this. We decorated it in old fashion
Christmas decor. I'll post a pic.

Do y'all have a tree? What's it look like ?

That stopped after my Dad died a few years ago. I will post mine as soon as its finish being decorated.

Ours is going up this weekend, I'll try to remember to post a picture. Ours isn't classy like yours though, we go for kitsch and mis-matched, sorta like the North Pole vomited Christmas cheer into our living room.

For the past 8 years I have had an artificial tree due to living in the motor home. There was just no space for a real one. Now that we have a mobile home we have room for a real tree. I know we're getting a real one because Gary bought a tree stand already. Yippee!!! We have no ornaments for it but can make them.

We only really get real trees here, unless you want to pay a ridiculous price for some miniature artificial thing. I always spray mine with hairspray to stop the needles falling. This year we are making an arty tree out of wood we have collected from the river bank. I will post a picture if it ever gets made!

Prelit artificial one. And I love not having to untangle lights.

Since I am usually away during Christmas now I put up my Charlie Brown tree. It is beyond cute.

Make sure to keep some water in the base, it will slow the tree drying out.

Also put down a blanket or something to catch the needles that fall off.

I'd keep it watered. The shellac in hairspray is flammable as hell. There was a Mythbusters episode that covered this.

That dog is CoCo's pillow pet. She lays on it when I turn on the fire.


Thanks y'all for the advice! :)
And thanks for the compliments!

Post pics of your tree when you get em up!

Its gorgeous!
Growing up in NH we ALWAYS had a real tree.
I moved to NJ for a while and had a fake one and I hated it.
But now I'm back in NH and pretty soon I'm going to be moving to an apartment ON A CHRISTMAS TREE FARM! I am giddy.

Growing up we always had really eclectic ornaments, and now I usually decorate it like that still.
I'll be sure to come back and post a picture of ours once its up!

Status: offline 		I've only once seen ice on a tree in those conditions where the sun turns every crystal into a refractor and you see all the colours of the rainbow. My little hypothesis is that this is what inspired people to put lights on Xmas trees. Wonderful sight. Still, that's a pretty damned good tree-decoration, K. Well done!

Any chocolate baubles on the tree yet? I have a standing tradition with a friend and her kids: I steal one of the chocolate baubles, then replace the chocolate with a note, rolled into a ball of the same size, on which I've written 'IOU one chocolate bauble. S. ' The kid who finds this and pulls me up on it gets a hearty festive punch in the gob.

Status: offline 		Beautiful tree K!!!!

I haven't had a real tree in years. When the kids were little, their allergies and asthma kept us from getting real trees and they hated that every year.

But a fake tree means I can put it up early and don't have to worry with stringing lights (mine's pre-lit ... I'll have to see about posting a picture).
