Yes, I said CHRISTMAS tree
We are getting ours thanksgiving and we decided this years theme will be "peacocks"... such as blue, purple and silver...
:lipssealedsmilie:
Here's ours.
Its one of those fibre optic trees that changes colour, we used to have a real tree every christmas but it was a bit of a chore to get one.
we refuse to put ours up until the weekend after thanksgiving at the earliest...still believe in separation of holidays and all that. besides, mentally i can only handle one at a time anyway lol
But I like going out in the cold, and seeing the tree fall down... then smelling it when it first comes through the door and untangleing the lights and putting up the ornaments and seeing it come to life for the first time :grinyes:
then before taking it down, I snip off all the needles and make pine oil, candles or just putting them all in a vase
i still have a bowl full from a few years back, and i just finished a batch of pine oil a few weeks ago

I juts don't like cutting down live trees for a week or two of enjoyment. Although I'd venture to say that if you looked at all the crap created in the process of building a plastic tree, the environmental impact is probably less if you just cut one down.
