Fake or real tree?

I placed the angel on top, and found an extension cord and plugged it in. Voila! Dad's job is done. It didn't take long for the four of us to decorate it. It reminds me of all those pretty commercial trees on Charlie Brown's Christmas!

If I like the smell of pine, I would go out and buy a pine scented wall plug-in or something. Maybe just pour a jigger of pine sol into a dish and leave it out..

The scrooge that I am this year.. wasn't going to bother with a christmas tree.. so my mother insisted on buying me one.. sounds kind of like the one you got there.. It's being put up now as I type.. the kids have it covered

Now you have to go out and buy a big zipper bag to store it up in the attic to keep the bug out in the summer. :ducking:

I tried using a cardboard box one year and yellow jackets made the biggest nest inside that I ever saw.

Or you could just leave it up year around.. But the good news is that you'll have a tree next year and the next, and the next.... Congrats!

You can't be a scrooge with kids running about.

Fake tree...and mine is covered with so many ornaments you can't really see if it's real or not. It came with the lights on it which is nice. I do put some fresh cedar around in a couple of arrangements and that way I get the aroma of some fresh, cut greenery.
