Today I wanted to talk to all of you about your holiday trees! I would like to know how many of you put your Christmas Tree or Holiday Tree up right after Thanksgiving? How many of you do it in early December and how many of you wait until the last minute?
Second, how many of you use real trees and how many of you use artificial trees? Why do you choose to real or faux Christmas/Holiday trees?
My family always puts up our Christmas tree the first weekend in December and it’s a big old family affair! While the tree is going up, we play holiday music and bake a few dozen cookies. We use a 7 foot tall artificial tree because I am actually allergic to pine trees and so is my 27 year old daughter!
Since I had to go “faux”, I made sure that we got a very high quality faux tree that looks absolutely REAL. I cover up all of that “faux-ness” by melting “pine scented” tart melts in my tart warmer so it always smells good in here!
So, tell us all about your holiday tree! We would love to hear about it!
I have to get artificial. My allergies go insane with real ones. I had real trees growing up. I miss the smell of them, but I cant do it anymore. =*(
When I can I buy a real tree in mid December. Even though there is a mess nothing can compare to that odor in the house.
I have put the tree up, but, I still have to decorate it. Decorating is the easy part, getting the tree to stand up is the hard part of it.
You sound much like us except ours goes up after Thanksgiving and it is artificial and beautiful. Even sheds needles which I’m not to thrilled about. We also played the music while putting it up. We also have the warmers with pine scent to make it smell like a real tree.
I grew up having artificial trees. One year my husband brought home a real tree. I have been in love with the smell ever since then. We put it up the first or second weekend in December. I don’t think I could ever go with out the smell of a real tree at Christmas.
