I am hoping to get our decorations and tree out and up this weekend.
We have a fake tree, and having grown up with only real live trees, I actually like the fake one better. Lights are already on it. It doesn't dry out and drop needles all over the place. I don't have to keep water in it. It's just much nicer to me. People always say...but you don't get the fresh pine smell. Eh, that's okay, I don't mind. I can light candles if I really want to smell pine.
