a real tree?

this is the first time in 10yrs we didn't buy a real tree. $280 7.5' prelit. no needles and tree sap to clean up..ezpz. smaller than I wanted though. after Xmas I want to find a 12' ft for next year and just put this in the back room.

I can't remember the last time I had a real tree :smirk: I miss the smell of fresh pine needles.

Our current one has been with us about 12 years. It is one of those fibre optic ones so doesn't need lights. I will take a photo soon for the My Christmas Tree topic as I am sure one will appear.

That might be true if you decide not to get a tree at all.

one reason for no prelit is there is no controller for the mellow light dimming and all that

this.
half if not all the fun of a tree (which is not a lot I agree) is decorating it, together with the kids.

Ripping the lights off and making a complete god forsaken mess is half the fun of getting a real tree... Also, taking it down in February because you know you're going to find pine needles in places you didn't know you could get pine needles for the next 2-4 months.

Just get a fake one that needs decorating. Win / win, not only do you get to decorate it but you also have to build it from a flatpack with no instructions :up:

Fuck pine

My friend has 3 dude roommates. They set up their fake tree while she was at work... Forgot the middle section completely.

Sombrero and stockings are a nice touch though.

Glad to see some things haven't changed. The instability of this place is always completely reliable.
