or a fake tree person?



MUST PIN trick for making a fake tree look fuller! Don't buy a new artificial Christmas tree! Just do this trick for less than $10! by 3 Little Greenwoods

I have only had one real tree in 
all my life, the first yr I was married.
My allergies were not happy about it. 

One of my trees is a big one that 
goes in a regular tree stand.
But my other one is a tall and 
skinny tree that is in a ceramic 
base, I think they are normally
used on porches but it works 
great in my home. 

Here are some really cool
containers to place your
Christmas trees in.

A basket.

I personally think putting 
one down in a little red wagon
would look great. 

Last yr I also put a small
three footer in a wheel barrow
in the front yard. That looked
cute too.

Do you have your tree in 
a stand or a container?

Your story could be my story, Pam. Had a real tree the first year we were married and I wheezed through the entire season. Artificial since then, several in fact and love them all. Happy Holidays!!

I'm fortunate to never suffer an allergic reaction to our real trees back in earlier days, but artificial is easier. And, ah, I remember my youth - wiring fresh evergreen wreaths back when I worked in a garden center. It was sort of interesting and a bit creative compared to much of the year there, but the skin of my hands and arms would get irritated and itchy. Heh... Be well!

When our children were little, we always went out and cut down our Christmas Tree. It was Tradition. Our next door son, still does this.

But some years ago, we went for an artificial tree. Being older we no longer felt like the trek to cut. Or even get a fresh cut tree.

Over time, we discovered that we can simply put the artificial tree in a tree bag, and bring it upstairs. No need to take it apart anymore. It's quite little and I just put some little red balls and red berry sprigs, on it. Take them off, and put them in a bag, when it's time to take the tree upstairs again.

This year, one of our next door grand sons, brought it down for us. -smile-

I love a real tree. But always feared it drying out, even though we got fresh trees. So, since no more real trees, I don't have that worry!!!!

My mother hates fake trees. So long as she did the work... I like the smell of a real tree, but I hate the hassle. This year, no tree for me. It's just me. I'm not decorating at all.

When I was married to my ex husband we always had a real tree but when he moved out my brother bought me an artificial one because it was just easier for me. Wade and I did get a real one one year but other than that it's been fake ones.
Mine has always been in a stand but I like how some of these are done

Well, we started out real; moved to fake when kids arrived; moved back to real when kids all left. Not sure why we did that but it seemed to work haha! Pam, do you know that you were one of the bloggers who commented on my FIRST blog post ever in 2011?? I was looking back at my oldest posts to see if I recognized anyone and YOU were there. So thank you for your continued support through all these years haha! Hope you are well and adjusting to things and enjoying this special time of year. Merry Christmas (whether it be a real or fake tree haha!)

My heart is a real tree person (so I'm glad Rick gets one!) but my life is "put ém up, leave ém up" and not be dictated by dropping needles. Some lovely ones here!

Such beautiful trees. My tree is like the second tree in the box. Lots of space for putting ornaments in and out. I would love a real tree but the artificial works for me because it days several days to decorate and I like to leave it up a few weeks past Christmas. Can't do that with a real tree. My tree has stand and a tree skirt.

You can't beat a real tree … but an artificial one suits so many.
Comes down to personal choice!

All the best Jan

The Rest of Today

After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after him. I had to snap a pic of Kelley making sure that I got

Well, what was I thinking? HAHA After laying on my couch in so much pain all summer, I knew moving closer to  Amber was the thing to do, The timing of finding my dream home was off. However, Two days of Open House and I have a contract. Selling as is, minor repairs.  Inspection to be done after  the work in the  den and BR is done. The process of getting here while just a couple of weeks of healing was a challenge. My daughter was a big  help weekend before  last. I just collect to many projects that I  never get around to and that has to stop. I have to say, last time  was easier, I had moved into my childhood home before I sold the other, so it was empty when sold. EASIER. I hate moving so close to Christmas but it is  what it is. Fall seems to have made it to us the past week. I am surprised, we were losing so many leaves due to no rain,  glad to have some color. In between packing, cleaning, repairs and life in general, I have  managed to do a few things. I taught a paint class an
