More on the Christmas Theme...Poll:...who has a live tree, cut tree, artificial tree, or no tree?
...and if you have a tree, what are your "Specs"? In our case, it's a cut tree...Noble Fir...a bit over 6 ft, with blinking white lights, red ribbon and a variety of bulbs....and an Angel on top.
For those w/o a tree (like us last year)...what special decorations?
Someone else can start a poll on outside lighting , etc....in our case, we have a Manger Scene next to the front door with a spotlight shining on it.

Artificial, 9ft. Kid has asthma and we realized that pollen nestled in "live" trees was triggering
Since moving to artificial, no issues. Given my druthers, we'd have a real tree. They smell good.
We used to do Noble For…
Now we do artificial. I miss the pine smell, but I don’t miss the mess.
Same Here, Merry Christmas Domer and to all.

Use an artificial tree now but I still do outside in green lights and climb a ladder which is
tipping with the lay of the land. I use the sweeping side of a broom to get lights higher. A bit dangerous, reaching and leaning on an uneven ladder at my age, but every year I get down and say, one more year done and I didn't fall, to my wife. I hope to move south permanently by Christmas next year so just an artificial tree and lights on a condo railing. It is seven floors up and looks nice when we walk by and look up at it.
Glad you've made it this far and using good sense going forward...a number of homes in our
neighborhood have hired Christmas Lights Installers...and some have coordinated...about 5 of them in a row make it look like one huge display...very impressive.
That must be really cool. Our neighborhood here does a pretty good job. Merry Christmas to you. And
Let's have a merry day Friday.
Thanks, and same to you & yours…here’s hoping for a “Present” on Friday!

Indeed, a Friday present is something we can all agree on.

Several of our friends have gone artificial…they work/look just fine…
…for us, the tradition is strong…especially with my wife
Artificial. (Kids are allergic to the fresh cut.) Last year’s Pottery Barn (from my daughter who
gets a free one from them each year. Nice, but super expensive for what you get.)
We also have a trio of reindeer with lights outside.
Have you noticed all the kids with allergies these days? It’s an epidemic. Must be those vaccines.

Nice! I deck outside out with lights and blow ups. I was thinking about the permanent lights..:
But the quote was ridiculous to have them installed.
Eli has his blow up Kim Jung Un and Putin for his yard decorations.

Both are surely soiled .
