Do you put up a Christmas tree every year? email this discussion to a friend?

From the time I was little, I can always remember my parents putting up the Christmas tree. As I grew older, moved out and got married, we also had a Christmas tree as my son grew up.

Now that he is 26 years old and moved out, we haven't put up a tree in the past 5 years. It is just my hubby and myself so we can't see the point of all the work to put it up and take it down, just for the two of us.

If my son ever gets married or has children of his own (our grandchildren) we might go back to putting one up again.

So what about you, do you put up a Christmas tree every year?

Happy MyLotting!

Yes, we put up a Christmas tree every year. It has been our tradition. I know how hard to put up a tree and decorate them especially putting Christmas light but I think it feels like something is missing during the holidays if we don't have the tree up.

I have always put up a tree and my husband was always a christmas grinch saying that xmas was for kids. Anyway this year is our first xmas with a child and my husband did the tree and has had a complete turnaround. Its nice to see him into xmas now.

Yes, I suppose that's why I'm such a grinch these days. Christmas is so much for children and they enjoy it so much. Maybe I'll change my ways when I get a grandchild. happy

Thanks for your response!

Hey CharRay! I don't put my big tree up anymore because of
my 2 cats and the fact that it is too much work to put it
up and take it down. My cats are almost 5 years old and
they are climbers so I know the tree would be down in a
minute. I have been putting up a 2 foot tree on a table
the last few years. It's not really fun, but it's better
than no tree at all. I am in the middle of re-decorating my
apartment so I have to finish this week so I can at least
get the little tree up. I usually decorate the house too.
But, if I don't finish this week I don't know how much
decorating I will be able to do.

Hi there!happy

Before we stopped putting up a tree altogether, we put up a small one on the table too. With 5 dogs, it was kind of hard to keep a big tree standing. lol

Happy MyLotting!

I do.....and even if I am by myself I still put one up. I love Christmas and I think that the tree is a very important part...I love having my living room lit up with all the lights and since I collect snowmen I love having the opportunity to display them.

We have always had one. Just like you, my parents did it when I was little, and then we did it since I got married. My son is 17, but we still do one. I can't imagine not having a tree. I love them!

We don't. We did last year put a tree up, but haven't so far this year. We talked about putting one up on the porch outside and decorating the porch, but so far we haven't done it. Our house is really too small to put our tree up. It is about 7 feet tall. I haven't put up a tree from 1991 till 2006. We did last year. Putting up a tree just isn't important to me anymore.

I love Christmas trees! I definitely put one up every year. When I was younger, it was my job to go with dad and pick one out, and then to come home and decorate it. I don't have space for a large tree in my current place, but I do still keep a small tree and make sure to light it each night during the holidays. I can't wait until I have a bigger space and a large, live tree again:)

In a way I'm kind of a Scrooge. I get so fed up with all the commercialism, that I'd just like to go into hibernation and not come out til it's over, but I've had grandchildren living next door for 17 years. After my youngest daughter moved out, I didn't put up a tree the next year. My grand daughter was very disappointed, "but Nana, it's Christmas! You gotta have a tree!" God bless the children.

I've put up a tree every year since. I don't do the gift exchange thing, there are just too many. I make them Christmas ornaments, and I put up my old tattered tree and drape lots of "stuff" on it so you can't tell how old it is. It really does perk up the holiday season for me, since I live alone except for one cat who's nearly as old as I am. (in cat years)

Hi there,happy

As each year rolls around, I get more Hum Bug every year. They start advertising for Christmas before Halloween and I just get tired of it.

Maybe things will change if and when I get grandchildren. lol

Happy MyLotting!

we always have had a tree, since i was little. after i moved out and got married i always put up a tree. even the year i was alone for christmas, i put up a small one. now, even though it's just me and my s/o for the most part, we always have a tree, usually a real one. this year we put up an artificial tree, since i'm away for the holidays, and due to thw cast on my arm. i also figured this way he wouldn't have to mess with a real tree while i was gone.

Your tree is beautiful! I love the Santa Hat topper! I've seen all kinds of toppers, having worked 6 years in a christmas store, but that's unique.
