Christmas Tree?

[LysesKids]

I wish I had a fake one. I used to love the idea of cutting one down and doing the whole family thing. but since that's a thing of the past now and cut trees here are about $40, I'd love a fake one now. My dds told me if I got a fake tree, they wouldn't come home. I'm sure they were joking. I think.

I'm allergic to live Christmas trees

I have a 3 ft fake one I put in the playroom and let the children decorate/undecorate as much as they want.

We go to the the tree farm to cut down a real tree for the living room (gated off from the child care area). I LOVE the smell of a freshly cut evergreen!

This year we've got two 3 month old kittens who will definitely climb the tree. It'll be interesting...

DW is allergic to a real tree, so we have a 7ft fake one. She bought it a couple years ago on after Christmas clearance and it's held up really well.

You can get cut trees for $40? Wow! Ours cost about $125. We bought a nice fake one for $400, and figured it wouldn't take too long to recoup the costs.

Oh my! If I had to pay that much, I'd definitely go artificial. I expect the forty bucks to increase each year. One of my dcfs gave me a $100 gift card to Lowes when their dd started preschool, I was going to save it for next spring planting season. But just maybe I'll check that place out for a tree. Spring is too far away to even think about. Haha 4 yo dcg asked me yesterday if spring was almost here. Got a ways to go honey, a ways to go.

Ours also are about $120 and go up from there. The local high school was selling fresh cut trees and they started at $100 for a 4 foot and went up to $320 for an 11 foot.

We have an artificial one. Purchased it for $100 from Walmart 3 years ago. It was prelit but this year half of the lights went out. So I just strung additional lights myself. No biggie.

I just bought 6' pre lights Christmas tree (fake) for $20 (it was on sale) yesterday and it looks great. It is for plant ledge on the top of my house (12' ceiling tall). I also bought 9' Christmas tree (fake) with no lights for $150 (it was on sale, regular price was $300) last night. It looks great! My husband and I decided to put lights on our own because we prefer to have led lights to save our electric bill.

My hubby works at Home Depot so we buy our tree from there. Usually a 6 foot one. We put it up in our Den (away from the daycare).

Kitties always make Christmas fun! ::
Mine love wrapping paper and bows.

By Christmas morning most the bows and ribbons are missing from the presents and a good portion of them are ripped open giving clues to what's inside and the tree is ornament free from half way down....

Mine are the same. i usually keep the presents put up until Christmas Eve or Christmas morning for the sake of getting some pretty pictures of presents under the tree. I have a new kitten this year, too, so I'm sure the ornaments will disappear pretty quickly.

I'm looking at new tree this year. I'd love to have a real one, but I don't know that it would be worth it for the cost. We have a prelit that my parents gave me that they acquired when they bought a house and the previous owners left it. It's about as dead as a fake tree can be.

Did ours this weekend. It's a cheap one from walmart about 6 years ago. Fleshed out with lots of garland, ribbon and ornaments, it works for me. The daycare kids are great about not touching it.

We drove out to the forest this weekend and cut one down. This was our first time and we didn't go to the best area but we found a cute one. It's smooshed against a wall in our living room with a gate around it.
Oh and the permit to cut it is only $10.

[happymom]

I LOVE real trees, but we just can't afford the $75-$150 price tag every year. Mow we have a nice fake one that is 7 feet tall and pre lit. We got it for $60ish 3 years ago. I do wish we didn't have to gate it off.

We go cut one for $10, just buy a permit from the ranger station

I prefer real pine trees, with the cones. I like sitting and listening to them crackling.
