Ok, kids, I'm putting my tree up today. For me that means taking it out of the box and assembling it. We've always done a real tree until last year, when I decided to order a fake one. The biggest reason...? I like to keep it up for a while, and my trees never last as long as my enthusiasm. So, I have a nice 7.5 foot tree and a pack of evergreen car fresheners that my hubby thought would be a nice touch.
We'll see.
Anyway, how about you? Real or fake? Let the kids help decorate or do it as a "surprise"? (Surprise to me means I didn't really want any help, so, Surprise! Here it is...)
I'm compromising this year. I will assemble the tree and do the lights while my kids are at school, then let them help with the ornaments. You know, the whole control issue just flares up right about now...

We have two trees, one in the living room (real) and one in the family room (fake). We started doing that last year. We have so many ornaments, that they didn't all fit on one. I don't really have any funny Christmas tree memories, but I really love having a real tree because no matter what shape or size it is it always seems to be better each year.
ReplyDeleteOther pines are popular as well, including the Virginia pine, because it has strong branches that can support heavier ornaments, and it carries a very strong pine scent, which can fill the whole house. This is an extremely popular Christmas tree in the southern U.S. For more information about Click Here
