I give up. This board is too hard to understand.
Christmas tree that is...

I know it's a "Thump" thread but the Chritmas Tree Farm thread got me thinking.

We've had a fake one for a few years because of the kids... it's just easier. We may get a real one this year though.
 
not only very real... but usually around 16-17 ft... one year, when standing that bugger up.. it got away from me and my son... huge gash in the wall... got guide wire anchors up there now...

we learned to put the Angel topper on.. BEFORE we erect it... otherwise, it gets comical trying to stand on the top of the window molding.. with somebody on top of a ladder pushing on your ass so you don't fall...

Merry Christmas

Real. I think my mom would disown me if I ever got a fake tree. I also like to decorate it some tacky and goofy looking ornaments and use some of the big C-9 lights. Those trees where everything is in its perfect place and all the ornaments and garland fit a color scheme just don't do it for me.

When I saw the title to this thread ("Real or Fake"), I thought that it was probably a Romper Room topic. :)

I know that you didn't mean to sound intelligent, but that's actually not a bad guess. In the eastern Mediterranean, the palm is a "sacred" tree more or less equivalent to the fir in northern Europe. Hence, Palm Sunday. That being said, I don't know what tree the Hawaiians venerate.

No tree for us this year - I guess that makes me a Grinch. :(

Sounds like the kind of tree my friend had one year. They moved into a new house with really high ceilings so his parents decided to get a huge tree. The best part was the ornaments went no more than half way up the tree. Because of the tree's height and base width they could not get to the higher parts of the tree with a stepladder, and that is all they had. It was one of the funniest sites I have even seen.

Real tree every year. My wife is happy my older son can now go with me to find a tree as she hates how I wander through all the Blue Spruces until I find just the right one. Last year the boy says "Are we done yet?" We had only been walking for like 45 minutes in 30 degree weather with a foot of snow on the ground. It must come from his mother's side :wink2:

actually we do two trees... a 7 footer for front window... then the monster in the family room... We have a family rule on the monster... not allowed to have two of any ornament... many are electronic... lots of those powered Coke ornaments... the one in the front is part of the 'exterior' decorations .. wife goes bonkers on decorations... for every holiday...

BuckinMich.. I need to send my wife with you.. on the endless search for the perfect tree... obviously the choices for a 17 footer is narrow... but she'll spend forever looking for the perfect smaller one... plus we can only get certain kinds because of her and the boys allergies...
