--When the children were younger we tried the live tree thing. It went pretty well until the dang fool needles started falling. Then we decided it might be best to try a fake one rather then spent the rest of the year vacuuming up needles. And buying new vacuum cleaners.
--While this enabled us to put up and take down the tree with relative ease. We all still missed the old real tree. So we decided to buy one we could plant in the yard after Christmas was over.
--This worked out quite well until a flock of months ate the dang fool needles and we had to cut the things down. Now were stating over again with the fake tree.
--But of course being that were running out of room in our little tiny house and really don’t have a place to store it we pretty much leave it up all year round.
--So every year we have to undecorated it vacuum it off and redecorate it. Which is kind of fun. Even though there’s a bit of grumbling you can tell from the twinkling in their eyes they still enjoy helping decorate the Christmas tree.
--It seems to be one of the few things that will get even the most harden ones out of their caves. That and dinner time of course....
