So what should I say? I've been collecting Christmas ornaments since I was a teenager and have some wonderful spheres and waxen ornaments. I really liked our tree and I put beeswax candles on -real light not an artificial one
This was the past -now we have Tigris and Filou and heaven knows they are better than any Christmas tree. I have no idea whether coniferes are good for them but I guess no. And it's definitely not good if someone steps in broken glass...
I decorate the windows a little and have some branches (and have the water spray bottle close) but I agree it's not the same.
