As you said, Pros and cons.

And as long as the fake tree is trying to be a real tree, it's acceptable. :-) God bless!Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04297167286490109077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926600609895094436.post-3020799200091829052011-12-21T08:20:45.218+11:002011-12-21T08:20:45.218+11:00I grew up with a real tree every year.

There are parts of me that miss the real tree... but I can't say they're strong enough to make me want to get one again!Peggy Eddlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10241451940725996650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926600609895094436.post-79332132084643160202011-12-21T04:49:23.702+11:002011-12-21T04:49:23.702+11:00We've almost always done a fake one, which is ...We've almost always done a fake one, which is nice clean-wise, but we do miss the pine-smell.

That meant an emergency trip to the shops to buy some more, and a morning spent undressing most of the tree, changing the lights, and redressing the tree. It's the first time I've decorated a tree twice in a year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05746017057593508370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926600609895094436.post-86201099913748099522011-12-20T05:25:02.916+11:002011-12-20T05:25:02.916+11:00Hello Imogen!

This year we found a lovely little pine scented thing that you can hide and hang in the tree, so now our fake tree looks and smells real...but isn't. Your tree looks beautiful!Jessica Greysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04062673420332799383noreply@blogger.com
