MollyL

The tree is up and gingerbread just
came out of the oven 🎄

9:14 am

BzznBea

molly, do you make gingerbread houses?

9:19 am

origami

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

with the root ball in a burlap sack

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

cybernan

good morning everyone

10:12 am

rururocks

good morning nan

10:13 am

LeslieAnn

congrats on being in the grid today lol

10:14 am

cybernan

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 don’t 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

—— 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. I’d be protected from vampires then?

10:25 am

LeslieAnn

10:28 am

rururocks
