Never put a tree up before Thanksgiving in this house!

I much prefer fresh cut. But recent years, we have used a small artificial one. It is OK, I guess. Did have one last year for the first time EVER, in my life, due to the kitchen remodeling. I did so much packing and unpacking for that, I just couldn't do any more 2 weeks later.

Real tree: I have a light up star on top. Artificial: I think it is an angel, can't remember! DUH.
