Real or Fake- Christmas Trees that is

11-29-2010, 11:20 AM

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

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!

Last year with the real trees. As we were cutting it down I turned to my 14 year old son, and said that when he moved out, we were switching to a fake tree. After he helped cutting it down, trimming branches and hauling it in, he said he really didn't mind fake. So we'll be watching the after Christmas sales...

I did real trees for the first 30 some years of married life. The wife refused to even consider an artificial tree. Two years ago I just went ahead and ordered one online. Put the thing up and lit a Balsam and Cedar Yankee Candle.

She was home for about 4 hours before she found out it wasn't real -

So yeah - artificial for me. After this Christmas, based on what I paid for real ones - I'll be saving money!
