Thanks again everyone! I'm putting up the fake tree t onight and will be removing a lot of lower branches to save room. No idea where the swing will go yet

Geez, Kim! If I wire you the money will you ship a tree to me?

(jk!

) Here, just the tiny little trees in the grocery stores are a hundred dollars or more.

I would stick with what you have available. I second the febreze pine smell. They also have a couple of other scents available as well!

I know what you mean. Trees here are $80 and up!

OK, lets see if I understand the choices......

1-Use the gorgeous, $300 artificial Christmas tree, that you already have, that looks better than ANY real tree in the lot, that was given to you by a wonderful friend (me)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR

2-Spend money (that should be paying your bills, vetting your cat, and diapering your grandson) on a real tree that will dirty up your living room in a week and not meet your expectations of perfection, just because someone thinks it will be ugly? (is that the same ugly as Camry's perfectly good clothes?)

hhhmmmmmm.....which do you think is my choice??

Jen, I must admit this tree is the single most gorgeous artifical tree I ever saw! You know I love this tree! Its just HUGE! LOL I am actually glad I decided to put it up.... its what I actually wanted to do all along, but I had others in the hosue who wanted a real one this year (and years past)

I hope this question didn't insult my dear friend Jen!

Insult? Heck no. I was just going to mope and whine and pout until you chose the artificial one.

(LOL)

The whole pricing issue on Christmas trees seems very strange to me. I think of Alaska as having plenty of trees. I know that Washington state has plenty of trees. Fifteen years ago, I dug out my own living Christmast tree from a tree farm and it cost me $30. I don't want to imagine what it would cost me now. More, probably, than buying a bare root noble fir from a nursery.

I voted for the artificial tree also. Glad you put it up and are happy.
