Mine is fake, but I don't get it out anymore. It needs the lights replaced. I got halfway done with that and I've never finished the process.
I have to share that Di called me chortling with glee yesterday when it started snowing. LOL I barely resisted snarling at her but managed to rejoice in her happiness. :)
We've had a fake tree for years, but I'm toying with the idea of a real one this year. . .
We hit the Christmas tree farm every year. And every year Kevin grumbles about the needles. :-)
Oh, Diann, you are so filled with joy this Christmas, it really lifts the spirits of everyone around you. What a joy you are! Thanks for the smile of the day picturing you dancing and laughing and playing in the snow like a child...and then having someone get you back up. The thing is, knowing you, I know that's totally true!
Um...I'm pleading the fifth for myself.
I'm with you, Di. I loved it the 4 years we lived in upstate NY. We had snow for Christmas and I was one happy camper!
As for the tree, I grew up with real ones. I love the smell. Unfortunately, I'm allergic to them and after years of spending Christmas with a sinus migraine, I opted for an artificial one. Now I can actually enjoy the season, although I do miss the smell of a real tree. And NO - sprays do NOT smell the same.
The one saving grace for an artificial tree is you can throw a bag over it and store it still decorated. :D Then next year - voila! You pull it out of the closet and plug it in. Instant Christmas!
Hey - it works for me.
I love the scent of a real tree. Our is up and beautiful already. YAY!
We did a real tree for years until we realized it was bothering our son. We thought he just got head colds every Christmas. LOL. Nope...it was the trees. Now we have a prelit artificial and it's very pretty.
I miss going out to cut the tree as a family but I tell ya, it's a lot of work. =)
I'm with you though Diann--winter is one of my favorite times of year. Bring on the snow, baby!
We have a fake (prelit with white lights) tree. No needles to clean up.
:) I love snow, too.
While I love reading about your joy and innocence with the coming of winter/Christmas/snow, I think you are NUTS!! Snow is pretty until you have to drive in it. It doesn't stay white very long...either the cars and trucks make it turn brown or the animals make it yell.... Well, you know what I mean. We are expecting our first major snow storm on Saturday down here in Indy. I think we'll hole up until next week!!
My DH is dangerously allergic to evergreens so we always have a fake tree. Last year we downsized to an apartment-sized 4 ft. white tree pre-lit with white lights. We decorate it with 1 inch blue ornaments and blue garland. It sits atop boxes covered with a blue satin-y cloth. So pretty even though our friends think it's a "Colts tree." LOL
If you want the artificial tree for ease of care, try burning candles with the evergreen scent. It's not the same as a real tree, but close!
In Louisiana, snow is rare and we get all giddy when we get it. Run out and enjoy it until it melts, which is pretty quick. :-) As to trees, we didn't put one up last year and haven't this year. Thinking of maybe getting a small one we can put up where Jack (dog) won't get it, or maybe we'll wait until we have grands. :)
Hi Diann, you would be very happy in Michigan with all the snow we got this week. It is still clinging to the trees in the woods I drove by this morning and looking lovely and perfect.
We do a live tree as it has been a tradition at our house since I was a kid. We head to the tree farm and cut our own and head home. We make an evening of it with hot chocolate and cookes when the kids were younger, a meal now. Colored lights and special crazy ornaments (long story). Our tree fits our crazy, funny family perfectly.
