    Christmas Trees

    Do you get real or artificial Christmas trees? I used to have real trees, but then my parents decided that it was too much of a hassle to get a Christmas tree every year so we have an artificial tree. I just wondered what everybody else has.

    We use an Artificial tree.

    I do love real trees though, the smell.. Mmmm! A couple of years back we finally convinced my Mom to get us a real tree (she's a neat freak so she doesn't like the pine needle messes etc! ). Anyways... it turned out it had spider eggs on it... and they hatched! Ick! Need I say more, that was the last real tree we had!

    I have an artificial tree. Don't think I'd be able to stand the mess of a real tree.

    I prefer a real tree but I'm in an apartment therefore an artificial tree is mandatory.

    Besides.....I can leave it up longer with no falling needles....
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Artifical... I tend to REALLY light a tree. Hubby jokes that you could read by the light of my tree... it takes me hours to string the lights properly, and is a major headache to unlight it. We threw out the tree last year - lights and all because it had seen one too many Christmases, and I didn't want to be bothered removing 1,000+ lights. This year, we got a new tree (many thanks to you-know-who for the fabulous gift of the tree) and I have half as many lights than normal. My daughter was laughing at me... she swears that I'm going to undo the tree and add more lights before Christmas! Perhaps I will

    Besides, this year we have kittens who think the tree is a great new toy.

    We have an artificial tree. It has the lights built in, we just bought it last year though. Before we had a really old artificial tree and we bought real trees some years as well.

    We get a live one, but I'm kind of leaning towards getting an artificial one soon.

    I always hate seeing all those trees that I know end up getting thrown away because they cut too many down. This year, I've decided to "rescue" a tree that no one will want. You know those trees everyone passes up because half of it is bare? Or the crooked ones? I'm getting one of those this year.

    ...RIP, our sweet Gini...
