That's what my grandparents always did too. They had a whole hedge row of their past Christmas trees.

Every year we have an artificial tree. While I understand the appeal of a real tree, they honestly depress me. I know they're farmed and forests everywhere aren't being destroyed for our holiday pleasure, but I still can't buy one.

We'll put out tree up a few days after Thanksgiving. I have 2 trees, a bigger one and a smaller one. This year I'm going to put the smaller one up. For the smaller tree I have a star for the top (my larger tree has an angel).
