Do you buy a tree, go out and cut down a tree or do you use an artificial tree?
If you buy one how much are trees running in your neck of the woods?

I have an artifical tree i put up every year, we tried the real tree thing but those needles get everywhere, and i am constantly worried about a fire, so it is a fake tree for me and i just spray some of that new febreeze pine scent stuff, lol, hey whatever works!!!


myLot reputation of 73/100. jaded1 (234)  6 years ago

I like the febreeze pine smell idea I will have to try that as I to will have an artificial one this year.

No, I already have a xmas tree and it is artificial. I think trees best live in woods!


myLot reputation of 73/100. jaded1 (234)  6 years ago

I agree about where the trees belong. I would not go and cut out of the forest. But -mas trees are produced to be used for x-mas.

It all depends on our budget. The one year that I decided to go cut down my own tree, it fell out of the back of the car and all of my friends called me a Christmas tree killer for months afterwards. Last year we had to use the artificial one we keep stuck in the closet, but this year we are buying a real one. This weekend the entire family is meeting at Home Depot and picking out our trees. My parents are going to haul them all home in the back of their truck. They are going to look real cute going down the road with three trees!
The year before last we purchased a douglas fir for around $20. It was around seven feet tall, and very full. I see that our local Kroger has trees for $26, but they aren't very big compared to what Home Depot usually has.


myLot reputation of 73/100. jaded1 (234)  6 years ago

wow that price is very good. They want around 50.00 here in Yuma Arizona.
Thanks for your time that you took with your comment it is appriciated.

I always have a fake tree, I have two of the most stubborn playful cats on the planet and they like to play with the ornaments, so I get fake so that they won't drive me crazy messing with the tree, at least I don't care about the fake one! :)


myLot reputation of 73/100. jaded1 (234)  6 years ago

I must agree with you that it is better not to have to worry.

For a couple of years we went to a tree farm and cut our own--it was really fun and they served hot cider and had ornaments for sale. We are watching our budget tighter, both last year and this year. Last year we bought a Norfolk pine and decorated it. It is a houseplant and suffered much for its association with me. I did good until spring then did not water it enough. I won't decorate it this year. This summer we bought two dwarf alberta spruce that we will put a little decor on and leave outside. I think I will also have a forest of artificial trees on my big front porch--some I have bought, some I have inherited. I would like to have one inside and decorate it with stuffed animals as I have a baby granddaughter who will visit a little this season.

How nice, Thank You for your comment. Also I would just like to say arn't grandchildren something special. I have three and they are so dear to me.

I use an artificial tree..best to put away and go..I re-use mine for as long It's not falling apart.


myLot reputation of 73/100. jaded1 (234)  6 years ago

yes I think this is the most reasonable thing to do. I have always said that real trees are better but I now use a little afrtificial one here in the moter home.

My family always tries to make a very natural Christmas so my father always goes on the hill of my town and cuts for us a christmas tree. When it comes back you can't imagine the happiness from our face...


myLot reputation of 73/100. jaded1 (234)  6 years ago

This is very nice.
I have cut a couple of my own for a few x-mases. They look so much smaller out there in the country side then you get them home and oh my LOL
