Fake or real?

December nineteenth is the day to go Look for an Evergreen. Taking time to notice the vibrant colors and unique shapes of plants in your neighborhood, a simple way to connect with nature.

Every year one thing remains the same around the holidays, people everywhere have to decide at what point before the big day they’re going to go out and hunt down a Christmas tree. Look for an Evergreen Day is about the last opportunity you have if you haven’t already gotten yours to ensure you have a tree for the Holidays.

At our house we have three rambunctious cats that would be climbing anything, natural or man made, so we just have a ceramic table top tree made by my mother-in-law sixty or more years ago.

Fake here. Dawn got it from her store a few years back complete with LED's with 3 light modes. If we put a real tree up, we have to constantly move the presents to water it and if there is a train running around it that's in the way too. Plus if any critters had been in the tree my foxhound would probably destroy it. She doesn't bother the fake one.

My parents had a Christmas tree farm and we always did real till the last few years we did nothing since we are either in Texas or Georgia for Christmas.  This year my wife wants a tree and again we will be away so in the process of ripping my heart out we bought a fake tree.  Easy? Yes and not bad looking.  No aroma though.

@squonk Love your piano.  I learned to play on a 3/4 upright.

It was a wedding present my Grandfather gave to my Grandmother about 100 yrs. ago. The insides deteriorated over the years. About 15 yrs. ago my wife took out it's innards, refinished the outside and installed an electric keyboard in place. You almost can't tell by looking at it. Raymond Piano Co.

Fake. 

 

We haven't done a real tree in decades.  Wife likes to get tree and all the trimmings up early--this year the first of November and it will come down before New Year's Day.  These pre-lit trees sure make my job easier.  I do enjoy the soothing ambiance  of this year's tree.
