She was very, very angry two Decembers ago when her parents gave in and purchased a fake tree. They had just moved to Southern California and it was 90 degrees in December! (Yuck!) Now when we visit around Thanksgiving we all "get ready" and go out to the garage in search for the "perfect tree." We tease her endlessly by saying, "Oh look Sarah! We didn't even have to leave the house! The perfect tree is right here!"<BR/><BR/>She hates us right about then.<BR/><BR/>But we all act jolly and put on our bathing suits and Christmas music and then deck the halls. <BR/><BR/>Happy decorating!Lesley Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03112207213287381440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152766234203760736.post-62734486704070995922008-11-30T07:03:00.000-08:002008-11-30T07:03:00.000-08:00We had a fake tree the entire time when I was grow...We had a fake tree the entire time when I was growing up because my brother had some kind of allergies (or that is what they told us) so I never missed having a real tree. Personally, I find the smell of the real trees inside to be too intense...and I just feel bad about chopping down perfectly fine trees to dress them up and then throw them out. I think it is so sad-looking when you see discarded Christmas trees by the trash cans after Christmas. So I am totally for fake trees but I realize you are really missing the experience of finding the tree rather than the tree itself in most ways.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3152766234203760736.post-38986720635959978772008-11-29T21:27:00.000-08:002008-11-29T21:27:00.000-08:00Oh how wonderful, the mental images of going for a...Oh how wonderful, the mental images of going for a real tree. I keep thinking I'll go buy the real tree and put it on the porch. I can't do the real one inside, I love the smell, but my lungs don't. I still have a tree to assemble---sounds so funny.pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741559479032449072noreply@blogger.com
