teef Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Fake all the way. I'm not cleaning that **** up. I actually thought the upside down fad was over. I Remer seeing it years ago. Now they have colored trees. They real, ( I think they are because you by them from a tree lot) and as far as I know, they're extremely expensive.

It was an ugly but unfortunate accident. I’ll really miss the guy.” To the point of the thread we went artificial years ago but real tress are better. Very possible. He lets me use the chainsaw only after he “checks it over”. Now you have me thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mead107 Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 8 hours ago, BringBackFergy said: Real. My father in law has a Christmas tree farm so we usually go down and help him cut and stack trees, help him shear trees in off season and then go down and cut one when ready. Usually fraser fir or concolor fir. You have to do something to supplement that low income of yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 We went fake for the first time last year. The wife started getting sick from the tree or something it was sprayed with about 5 years ago, and it became too much to deal with. Too bad, but I’ll live with it.

Augie Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 The tree went up today in a snap! Fake tree with lights built in. I prefer live, but the fake ones these days are better than the old ones, and it sure is easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Live outside. Ornaments are hung on wreath strings. Not have big enough family to worry about room for presents but stockings, etc can take care of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Things Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Upside down tree? Since it's summer down here in the southern hemisphere, the heat of the day would instantly dry out a real tree. That said, I love our fake tree, but try to burn a little balsam incense from the Adirondacks to make it all seem real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBud Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) Was just in Germany this past week. Man, the real trees there were absolutely incredible. Super full, dark green. 50 Euro ($60) for a 6 ft tree. And artificial if I get mine out of the basement and put together.

I’d do that, but the wife developed some kind of allergy to the tree or something it’s sprayed with over the last 5+/- years. She’d get sicker and sicker every year and I ignored it as long as I could. After half a decade, it was not just a coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression that your wife and mine are very similar with regard to severe dietary/environmental sensitivities. I bet we would have a very interesting conversation. I support my wife unconditionally, but secretly am skeptical of some things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
