Here is my tree this year, my first real tree that is actually alive, I can plant it when x-mas is over. IF I remember right this is some kind of fir tree. But it can only live outdoors in tropical climates (didn't know that until after I bought it) so after christmas it will be replanted into a nice big pot & I'll keep it as a floor plant at work. I'd love to have a floor plant at home but you'll see in the last pic why I can't. lol

(excuse the mess, I was wrapping presents that night and the ferrets were out, those 2 do NOT mix lol)

It's nothing fancy but it really does look better in person, and I can't put the lights on the tree because they will dry/burn the tree.




This is why I can't have a floor plant:


Ferrets LOVE to dig in dirt & they LOVE to fling it everywhere. I caught him just in time.... over & over & over again, and the others too. I tell ya, I'm getting my exercise with the ferrets out with the tree set up. If I continue to get a "real" tree in the future I will HAVE to find a way to ferret proof the dirt. lol
