 Posted: 11/12/03 - 08:59 Post subject: We just bought our Christmas tree
for the next several years
it was one of those pre lit ones. Last year JJ and Abby had major allergic reactions to the real tree so no more real tree for us  .
I had to set it up to make sure it worked while the store still had them in stock.
The kids really liked it....

Friends of mine mounted theirs on a little wheeled platform. When Christmas was over, they threw a cover over it, and wheeled it into a spare room corner. Set up, and tear down took all of about 5 min.

You're far to energetic. Leave it up. Throw a nice decorative blanket over it.

Don't even do that. Lots of people have fake plants in their homes. So yours is a Christmas tree, big deal.

We have a fake tree also.
However, this year...with our basement torn apart...and lots of stuff upstairs in the living room, we have no room for it.
We might just buy one of those "little" fake trees, put it on an end table and call it good. We asked the kids, and they said that would be ok.

I have to have fake too, BAD allergies here. Mine's really pretty though and it's nice and full, not one of those scraggly Charlie Brown type jobs that some of the fake ones are. I like it!!
Is it time yet? Is it time yet???

I was in Macy's on Monday and was horrified to walk in to the strains of "simply ... having ... a wonderful Christmas time". For pete's sake, it's not even THANKSGIVING yet!

Do you mean 'cause you live in a forest?
My kidlets and I have cut Christmas tree allergies as well. Lucky them, they must have gotten it from me. Funny thing is, it took me forever to realize that all three of us were sick every year at Christmas. So as much as I'd prefer a real tree, fake it is in our house. But we don't have a problem with growing trees.
