Normally we have this dinky 6' fake tree, but this year we got a real one. I LOVE the smell, and it's at least 7.5'. It was a good deal, only 45$ and it's huge and really wide.
We also got 2 new ornaments for me, one is a replica of Big Ben, and the other has a California theme in the shape of the state, with the DCA roller coaster, grapes, the Golden Gate Bridge, and other things on it.
Okay, dumb question for you warm-weather folks.
Do they have tree farms there where you can buy real trees?
I know, stupid. I'm just not used to it, heck, my old school was built on an XMAS tree farm.
