My wife’s record was Easter. Neither she nor her ex wanted a tree, but his mother insisted since the family grew xmas trees. His mother also took the tree down.
My wife spends up to $100.00 on a real tree every year and will never have an artificial one. The real pine smell does it for her every time. Suggest an artificial tree to her? You are walking a VERY thin line.
I actually grew up having a real tree, but nowadays it’s a fake tree. I do miss the smell real trees have so one alternative I did was when I went to get a wreath blanket for my parents’ grave, i also picked up some discarded tree branches and made a swag to hang up in the living room. You discard the centerpiece but keep whatever decorations you used to adorn it (I used flameless candles.) and reuse the next year.
Our first tree together in our first apartment lasted till April and then we threw it over the baloney (yes made sure no one was below and then walked down and put it in the area for trees etc by the garbage area). We eventually got a beautiful artificial one that unfortunately dried out when we lived in Lousy LV and I had a small one I got from Speigel years ago (artificial) that became our tree in the place we are now…will be 21 years when we renew this year. Did get a new artificial one, a bit bigger and it fits on my sleigh table very nicely!….wish I could find another sleigh table like it.
@whenlifewassimpler – I know that it was just a typo, but the thought of throwing a tree over the baloney cracked me up. I never before considered how close the spelling is between balcony and baloney! Funny!

Did I miss something? Somewhere between the “Tale of Two Trees” and the “Fantastic Fake Fir.”
