Christmas Trees

[caudio51]

So what do you get?

I go Charlie Brown style and get the scrawniest little tree I can find.

first Christmas married and thus not living with my parents. My wife and I got a prelit, 7'er from Wal Mart, the "L" model, check it out, it's hawtness

We set up a fake one for the first time. A nine foot prelit from Costco and I need to get a dimmer for the damned thing...almost need a pair of sunglasse to look at it!

1800 lights! WTF needs that many lights on a tree!?

:rofl:

I actually sold Christmas trees in my younger less responsible days. You just can't beat a fresh frazier fir. Although the blue spruce was my next favorite followed by the norway spruce. Now I have too many animals in the house. Live trees is their equivalent to crack cocaine, so in everybody's interest we have the 8' pre-lit faker. Hardly ever needs water.

 

[caudio51]

Man, I don't know how you guys get fakes. I need the smell of the tree for it to be Christmas. Oh and that spray shit don't work

 

[RX2010]

dude, just pick up some real garland, spread it around, same smell, less mess

 

[ATCDub]

Exactly, I go to the nursery and pick up the cuttings from the bottom of the trees. Fresh and free.

 

[Greg]

Wow!! So YOU are the people that buy those fake trees.....interesting, very interesting....:rofl:

 

[Electric Sheep]

[Greg]

There's not much mess with a real tree. If you keep it well watered the needles stay on. When you are ready to take it outside, just wrap it up in a tarp.

Good idea

one thing I do like about a real tree, when it's dead and dry, it'll burn for a while, lots of fun, but I don't live on 40 acres anymore, I now live in an apartment within city limits, fake it is

 

[tobby4]

i put up garland and lights... and yes, I will go buy some real stuff for the smell

Spoken from someone who hasn't had a 15lb cat decide to scale that bad boy in the middle of the night. Tree tipped over, huge noise, me scared shitless with a firearm ready to shoot whomever is breaking in. It's kinda comical now that I think about it.

 

[Wasch_24]

After putting up our fake for the first time ever I am thinking real trees are easier too.

 

[ATCDub]

Now that is the truth.

 

[caudio51]

The fake ones are tough?

Oh and what do you feed your cat???

 

[Wasch_24]

I think now that all the "factory press" is removed it will be easier to "fluff" next year but damn!

:rofl:
