The tree is up and gingerbread just

I've been thinking about getting a small tree. I haven't had one for years and years.
9:19 am
BzznBea
we don't have one yet this year. not sure if it will happen.
9:34 am
hokie carla
we have 3 trees up but still have boxes in the dining room and haven't put anything at all outside. I even still have my fall garden flag out there.
9:37 am
Dorens
three trees? isn't that a bit much?
9:37 am
LeslieAnn
my sister-in-law has 8
9:38 am
MollyL
No outdoor decorating around here today. It's been pouring rain since dawn. I put my lights up yesterday.
9:38 am
MollyL
Why 8? That seems absurd.
9:39 am
LeslieAnn
well at least half are small, everyone in the family gets their own tree
9:44 am
rururocks
no dead trees here at Chez Ru
9:48 am
hokie carla
also day 2 of pouring rain here
9:49 am
hokie carla
we have a real main tree, a smaller fake tree with all hokie decorations (used to have an orange one but had to replace), and a smaller tree with ornaments from our travels.
9:54 am
rururocks
I like my trees outside working and creating oxygen
9:59 am
rururocks
<--- that kind of sounds like bah-humbug a bit I guess
10:00 am
hokie carla
well, my one real one is from a tree farm, where they have all stages of trees and replace with new ones when they cut down those ready for the season
10:01 am
hokie carla
we have a buttload of tree farms around here
10:03 am
rururocks
I always wondered why people couldn't get by with a live tree (smaller) and then plant it after the holiday. I guess I'm old guard environmentally..
10:05 am
hokie carla
I don't think they've sold those since I was a very little kid
10:07 am
hokie carla

10:08 am
rururocks
I think if I had to have a tree that's the route I'd go. I don't do any xmas decorating and stuff. I'm just not into it. I like it that many people are though.
10:12 am

Horning in on the fresh vs. artificial tree conversation -- not everyone has a yard big enough to plant a tree and why cut down a tree just to mulch it 3 weeks later?
10:18 am
rururocks
I have room to plant a tree. But I donโt get a tree to begin with
10:19 am
cybernan
This is the 2nd year I haven't put one up, but the first year I haven't decorated at all other than outside lights and a couple of wreaths. I just can't manhandle that 7 ft. tree and garlands around the doors any more.
10:19 am
rururocks
โโ should change name to rurugrinch
10:21 am
LeslieAnn
you've got garlic in your soul, rurugrinch
10:24 am
rururocks
Not sure what that means
10:24 am
LeslieAnn
oh! it's part of the song, you're a mean one, mr grinch
10:25 am
rururocks
Oh. Iโd be protected from vampires then?
