What kind of Christmas tree do you have?

We always have multiple trees…4-5. We used to do one fresh tree but no matter the variety, it seems to trigger my allergies. So we are sticking with artificial. We have a small tree with mini ornaments that goes on the bar, a full sized one with white lights at the end of the bar, a tall slim that has all of our Disney and whimsical stuff, and the newest one near the fireplace…which apparently is too perfect as is to decorate with anything more than a star.

We got a permit and cut a tree the first year we were married. Then we bought an artificial tree. First one lasted us about 30 years, bought a new one 10 years ago, a Sears 6 foot tree.
My wife and I covered too many house fires caused by real Christmas trees to want a real tree in our house.

7 ft. Balsam Hill tree for the last 10 years. My sweet husband knew how stressed I was with my mom being sick and in the hospital so while I was at the hospital all day yesterday he set up the whole tree without me. I was so excited when I saw it. It brightened up my day.

We have artificial trees. We have a 7 foot tree in the dining room in front of the bay window. We have another 7 foot tree in our family room. We also have 2 small (3 feet?) trees on each side of the fireplace in the dining room.

I switched to an artificial one a few years ago because I was always worried about a fire and refused to put the lights on after a week or so. When we got the artificial tree, we realized that my yearly Bronchitis/Pneumonia didn't happen. I knew I was allergic to the sap as I would break out in hives but never realized I was really allergic to the tree. I was also worried about creepy crawly things after seeing what came in with my daughters' tree. I got a prelit one that changes colors, so my husband at least is happy with that. I was hoping to put it up already, but my grandson was sick on Sunday, and he didn't come for dinner. I need him to get the tree down for me as it is a little on the heavy side and my husband can't do it since he had his strokes, balance issues and I don't have the time to spend the holidays in the hospital if he falls.

I am hoping the youngest cat has outgrown his tree climbing. Last year he was only a few months old, and the tree was a challenge to him
