Yep, that is actually true.... So we always had a GORGEOUS and super FRESH real tree from their farm. Sometimes flocked, sometimes green....<br /><br />Now we have the miniature Boston Celtics tree... Can't wait to move so I can have room for a real tree someday.rYLeE & KaTiEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12109545801661151705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901561476445868171.post-87856353951140892772009-12-30T12:38:36.335-07:002009-12-30T12:38:36.335-07:00FAKE!!!

Grandmommy would tie a red and a green ball together and had red velvet bows. It was seriously the best on Christmas morning when the lights on the tree were the only lights illuminating all our gifts. I duplicated that tree for years until my kids couldn't stand the flocking anymore. I still love a beautiful tree and it is my very favorite Christmas decoration. I must admit I'm a bit of a tree snob.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01149205449017205337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901561476445868171.post-41103848183280909442009-12-29T21:53:40.634-07:002009-12-29T21:53:40.634-07:00When I was a young grasshopper we had a fake tree ...When I was a young grasshopper we had a fake tree that shed more then any real tree I have ever seen. Then we switched to real and you can't beat the smell but the price is hard to justify for wat is basically a giant plant that only lasts one month. Now it's back to the fake kind. We'll see how long this one lasts.MisterEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15999317525822251645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901561476445868171.post-72372285050433232232009-12-29T21:46:30.728-07:002009-12-29T21:46:30.728-07:00I always loved going to the tree lot (yeah, not a ...I always loved going to the tree lot (yeah, not a lot of pine trees growing wild in the Bay Area) and picking out a tree. I loved that some were lopsided and had some empty spots where I imagined animals had lived. And the smell... oh the SMELL! I loved it. <br /><br />But now I'm far too practical for that. I would hate picking up the needles and remembering to water it, and ... I'm just far too OCD. So, fake tree it is. I love how predictable and easy it is. We searched for weeks for the one we have, and we love it!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373201394988552482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901561476445868171.post-32966877282162307132009-12-29T12:22:14.705-07:002009-12-29T12:22:14.705-07:00I remember a tree almost exactly like that from my...I remember a tree almost exactly like that from my childhood. Now I wonder what happened to it. Maybe if it is still in my mom's basement I can inherit it...<br /><br />I absolutely adore the smell of a real tree. But I despise pine needles on my floor. So the fake tree always wins. We've had a real tree only twice since we were married and that was when we were too poor to afford a fake one. Someday though, I'd love to take the kids out into the woods to cut one down.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214478619477950628noreply@blogger.com
