Still Watching My Back

Going to get the tree tonight, got a little bit of snow on the ground which always makes it better. Going to fresh cut a fir, can't beat the smell in the house either! Anyway, who likes the fakes and who likes the real ones?

Fake and pre-lit tree for us. With everything going on and little ones running around every bit of timed saved and mess avoided is a bonus.

I started out with a fake for years.
About 14 years ago, moved to real. Two years ago, went back to fake. They are so real looking now, with lights already on them, three pieces to simply put together. Way to simplified to go through the trouble of a real one and the worries of fires, etc. The real ones that my wife would want go for over $100, every year. The fake cost me $300 and done for life.

I'm slightly allergic, so we stick to fake.
Bought a nice one this year for $300 on sale. Had the same one for 10 years that we paid $50 for before that. |

Live. We bought one about 2.5 feet tall in a pot last year. After Christmas it lives outside. We're getting ready to bring it back in soon. It's about 3' tall now. When it gets too big we'll plant it somewhere.

As a kid, I remember going out with my family and cutting down a real one. Every year, it was a tradition. Now, we do fake. The space we have it in, plus 3 kids, a horse-dog (great dane), and 2 cats, we go fake. Just a lot easier for us to deal with and clean up. Maybe some year we'll do a real one.

A Cigar = 42

Used to love going out and getting a real tree from the lot. The guy was just like the "used car salesman" in A Christmas Story. We'd barter around and when I smoked cigs he'd bum one and take a dollar off the price for that and help me tie it down. LOL
My mother gets choked up from the Pine scent when she visits so we've switched to fake trees. It's easy but I do miss shopping for the "perfect" tree each year.

![]() ![]() So does that correspond to no snow = fake Christmas? If so, we are so, so screwed in Florida. ![]()

We had to go fake a few years ago because my wife started breaking out just brushing against a tree, some weird allergic reaction. I didn't like it at the time, but the convenience factor has grown on me.
Cheers, G |

![]() My wife took a while to adjust when we came down from NJ. Took her at least three years to finally accept no cold, ice, snow, etc. We now just look at it differently, in shorts, t-shirts, flip-flops and outdoor. ![]() Believe me, it was not hard at all for me to accept that change. Threadjack Off.

I always cut my own tree, however the one I have here at school is a fake bc one of my roommates may or may not be a rutard and we don't want the house to burn down

I used to get real trees every year until one year when I came back from a tree hunting excursion beat and bloody, wet and muddy and told myself "Never Again!"
These days it's a fake tree for me, less hassle and less stitches! ![]()
