What kind of Christmas tree do you have?

[TiggerTrigger]

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

within half an hour my son, who has autism and couldn't tell us what was going on, Had a full-blown sinus infection where prior to getting the tree he hadn't had anything. He's allergic to pine.

Took my parents years to figure out why I was always "sick" at Christmas. Once they figured it out and got an artificial tree, I was no longer "sick" at Christmas.

Artificial - three of them (one more in storage we haven’t put up in years). One slim 9’ in our hallway that has all my wife’s Lenox ornaments, one 7’ tree that has all our kids’ ornaments and ones we’ve collected from our travels and now one in our lake house that my wife has decorated with a blue and white theme. The other one we used to put in our dining room, but haven’t put it up on recent years.

I am unsure what to call this kind of tree.

Do you like your Balsam Hill? I misspelled it earlier. I spelled it Ball Some Hill, lol. I don't know anything about it or where to get it, but I see the ads on TV from time to time. We plugged our current one in this weekend, but several lights weren't working. So we're going to have to get a new one. And DW wants a Balsam Hill.

We have had a couple of Balsam Hill trees and loved them. They are almost too full to get ornaments on… depending on the kind you get. They are rugged as well.
