We finally broke down and bought an artificial Christmas Tree the day after Christmas last year. I've always had real, even before I was married and living w/my parents, so this was a huge thing for me. I loved the real trees, but, the past few years they've gotten to be such a pain in the neck, and, we wouldn't be able to decorate it until closer to Christmas.

I am excited to break out the new Christmas tree this year, I think I'll do it the weekend after Thanksgiving. I decorate a lot, both inside and out. Christmas is my favorite holiday and I have lots of stuff.

I have a whole plastic bin in my attic filled with my most prized posessions.... my disney ornaments. I usually get a few personalized ornaments when we go down to WDW each year and I love being able to bring them out and display them!

I've had an artifical tree for years. I like being able to set it up early and leave it up later. I miss the natural pine smell but the joy of having the tree up longer wins out.

In the other house and before this cat, we used to put up two trees one artifical that had all the breakable ornaments and the real ones with non breakable. Just don't have the room in this house and this cat is to nosey.

Every year we go and cut our tree the day after Christmas. If the weather is nice it is a ton of fun. If it's cold or rainy Pam is like "just cut that one down so I can get back in the car."

I'm leaving earlier than you to get to the airport. I have a 7 am flight - the airport is an hour and 1/2 drive from home. Can anyone say 3:15 wake up time.

I love christmas, but I have never had a real tree, because I am allergic to all members of the Pine & Evergreen tree family. I usually get a Sinus Infection in December, just from all the live christmas tree sales at the stores.

I would have drove to the airport tonight and spent the night near the airport in a hotel.

Yes but - kids, we had activities scheduled tonight. I only have one home right now.

Have I ever told the story of my trip last month when I did go down the night before. It was the night to spring the clock forward. I still had my blackberry then. I requested a wake up call and set the phone as back up. The phone went off, I got up and it wasn't until I turned the TV on I realized that I was an hour late.

Picture me - running through the airport as the make last call for our flight.

A fake tree was a big step for me too, but we put it up right after halloween and have xmas with my snow bird inlaws at thanksgiving. Plus we leave to florida for xmas so its just much easier having a fake tree.

I really love our fake tree. All the lights are prewired. We really need a new one this year. We have looked at all the stores and haven't found anything we like yet.

Not fun. I was afraid I was traveling on time change weekend last weekend. I was glad it is this coming weekend instead. I have done that before and it is not fun, the time I went to Chicago, which is an hour behind us and the time changed while we were there and coming home we lost two hours. Talk about Jet Lag and we didn't even fly.

My next tree is pre-lit!

The smell is what I'm going to miss the most. I actually put up a few different trees in my house, but, the "main" tree was always real. Now they are all going to be fake - oh well.

Every year we go and cut our tree the day after Christmas. If the weather is nice it is a ton of fun. If it's cold or rainy Pam is like "just cut that one down so I can get back in the car."

We recently went apple picking and behind all the apple trees was all of the Christmas trees. I'm sure it's a fun thing to do. We just got tired of dressing in hats, gloves, scarf, ect.. and looking for the right tree. Its so much easier this way.

I love christmas, but I have never had a real tree, because I am allergic to all members of the Pine & Evergreen tree family. I usually get a Sinus Infection in December, just from all the live christmas tree sales at the stores.

Oh that stinks. Right now the Waldbaums near my house has a ton of fall decorations, potpourri, ect., and when you walk in the door the smell of cinammon and spice hits you in the face and is so strong. It stinks so bad, I don't know how they can work in there, it would give me such a headache.

We always get our at Menards after xmas, they sell the decorated ones for 70-80 percent off the cost with all the decorations.

It is awesome!

No Menards here. We should have bought one last year, but we have been saying that every year for 4 years. Our tree is on its last leg so to speak.

We are under a Flood Watch yet again. I am just glad it is rain and not snow in the forecast. If this heavy moisture trend holds we are going to have a very Baaaaaaaaaaaaddddddddddd winter coming, when things turn cold.

I think we are going to have an extremely snowy winter here.

We got good news today at work. We get 2 extra days off this year.

We usually got off at noon on the Wednesday before Thankgiving, but the students had the day off. This year they are giving us the full day off, which means a two day work week that week. Woo Hoo!

They are also giving us Christmas Eve off this year. Usually we close early that day at the discretion of our Division head, but have had to work the entire day before.

Extra days off are always great!

Have a great cruise! Please warm up in the caribbean sun for me.

Wow, that's early - and I thought right after Thanksgiving was going to be early. That was also a plus for us, knowing that our tree will be up when we are in WDW so we wouldn't have to do it when we got home.

I really love our fake tree. All the lights are prewired. We really need a new one this year. We have looked at all the stores and haven't found anything we like yet.

The lights on our tree are pre-wired also. You could probably get a better deal right after Christmas, that is if your tree is able to make it through this one.

Now that I think of it, I did see an ad in the newspaper for a big garden center near us already putting the trees on sale, maybe because of the economy the sales will be better????

I can't figure out why you would think that

I hope that it doesn't turn out to be true.

You might want to use some evergreen sprigs on tables as flower arrangements through out your house.

Oh that stinks. Right now the Waldbaums near my house has a ton of fall decorations, potpourri, ect., and when you walk in the door the smell of cinammon and spice hits you in the face and is so strong. It stinks so bad, I don't know how they can work in there, it would give me such a headache.

I can't go in any store that has a very odor perfume odor to it, as my sinuses will close off. The Candle store in DTD gets me just when I walk by on the sidewalk outside.
