Shaun_300 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Just finished helping mom string the lights and decorations up on our Christmas tree, was wondering how many of you guys have your trees up yet and if you get a real tree or use an artificial one? We always get a real one. Hard to believe it's that time of year again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NS whitetail Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 we have our artificial tree down in the basement rec-room this year............... my wife bought a pre-lite artificial palm tree for the living room, she loves to go south every winter so the palm tree is her thing ( it actually is pretty cool, but don't tell her I said that lol ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBow Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 My family and I went out and cut our xmas tree last weekend (That's right, it's a real one, not silicone...er I mean fake!). I just put it up yesterday and will be stringing the lights tomorrow if all goes well. I've always had a real tree, although all three of my kids, who've all moved out, have all been lured to the dark side and acquired a costume tree. (OH the shame!)

redkneck Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 We pretty much finished up today. We've had a plastic one for about 6 years or so, it looks great, saves time and money. I miss going out and picking out a tree, but convenience won out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 We have ours in the house thawing out. Andy and my dad tried putting it in the stand, but the trunk was too frozen for the screws to catch on and allow the tree to be able to stand. It fell over a few times and is now currently leaning on the deer heads on the wall until we can get it in the stand right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Fake tree here, usually always put ours up on Thanksgiving or right around then. Was late getting ours up this year, but it has been up for a couple weeks. Next year we should be in the new house, think we will go with a real tree.

The_Kat Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Jenn and I put ours up right after Thanksgiving and got the house looking like the North Pole. We really wanna make it special for Cash even though he is so young he won't remember it. He'll have pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Always get a real one. Put ours up Friday, and decorated it Saturday. My littlest child (Matthew age 7) pestered his mother and I relentlessly for 3 or 4 days. Matt was the sole decorator this year. My wife attached the hooks to the ornaments, and Matt hung them. Except for the ones at the top, he did the whole tree, and I must say, he did an excellent job. I was really impressed. :cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Not yet...probably some time this week...I usually make the hike with a saw in my backpack to a little known spot I found of some White Spruces...lots of little saplings that make good trees....the pain though is hiking there and back,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
