hahahaha i like it Mac
Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!

That's a pretty little tree-let, Mac!

Another way to get that evergreen fragrance with an artificial tree is to buy a wreath or evergreen centerpiece from a garden center. You can purchase them for under $20, lots cheaper than a tree, and still get the fragrance.

That is one heck of a BEAUTIFUL, AWESOME tree, Spooky!

MacPhantom, I love your tree! Okay, so maybe it doesn't look that great from the side, but from the front you can't tell it's a branch -- it just looks like a tabletop-sized tree. And it's especially beautiful all lit up.

Thanks Sue, I set it up and my wife and kids decorated it, it's the best looking tree we've ever had!

Adrian, I spent 60$ for mine. What did you have to give for your real tree?

I wasn't gonna put up any decorations at all for Crimbo this year, cause I'm just not feeling it. But the snow yesterday put me in a mood, so I went out into the front yard and cut a branch from one of the 30' blue spruces. I screwed together some boards for a base, attached a plastic cup for water, and put up not a Christmas tree, but a Christmas Branch.


WoooHooo The witch is doing her dance, it's about time!!! And I love the branch especially the Charlie brown look, that is one of my fav's!!! Your place looks great now!!! I am soo proud of you!! Ha Ha Ha It's the small things in life!!!
No more Bah hum bug!!!

Prepare for death & follow me.
