They look much better now then 20 years ago, that's for sure.AlisonArtisanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14632263439295945501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865153402965095677.post-90678501413107265642010-12-06T05:29:10.951-05:002010-12-06T05:29:10.951-05:00A Real Tree, plus 2 very tiny artificial ones (one...A Real Tree, plus 2 very tiny artificial ones (one outside on the front porch and one for the grandkids to decorate with wooden, bristle and oddly, cloisonne!)We went to the farm a couple of evenings ago to cut our own tree, a Fraiser Fir again this year (wonderful soft needles). I pruned it yesterday and if the new LED lights arrive today the decorating will begin soon! I also use tinsel, but an thinking, maybe just maybe with the change this year to energy conscious lights and a change in the look of the tree I might buy some sparkly tree additions and fore-go the tinsel. We'll see.<br /><br />P.S.

We...We have a real tree this year and I prefer it. We have an artificial tree in our garage, but it's low quality and not that big. We bought it when we lived in an apartment with our cats and didn't want to risk the mess that might occur if they decided to rip up the tree there. I think artificial ones are more environmentally friendly, but I love the look and smell and experience of a real tree.Rachaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00318376427752604367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865153402965095677.post-39553418615628107702010-12-05T22:00:13.331-05:002010-12-05T22:00:13.331-05:00Your tree is very pretty.

I use to get all itchy when I had a real tree. I do sometimes buy a wreath or branches to bring some scent into the house. Boy to I remember those needles in the carpet after Christmas, don't miss that!Debby@Just Breathehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685398064340027809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865153402965095677.post-88958770889135997032010-12-05T21:16:25.556-05:002010-12-05T21:16:25.556-05:00We have a artificial tree, always have.

I just think a real tree sounds like too much work to keep it alive, then dispose of it, etc etc. Plus, I think the artificial ones look just as good!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14421932346758247379noreply@blogger.com
