For the first year we have a live Christmas Tree! I am so excited. All my adult life I have had artificial trees. This past Christmas, I threw out my tree from my ex. I was determined to have a fresh tree. I wanted that aroma and feelings only a real tree can bring, remembering the trees from my childhood. But as money is super tight, since I still can't find a job, I found a super cheap artificial tree on the day after Thanksgiving sales. I was a bit heart-broken, but just glad for the season and tried not to dwell on the plastic crappy tree I had purchased. However, I just couldn't get over how horrible this tree was. So I took it back. Upon returning the tree the customer service lady mentioned this store also sold fresh cut trees???? hmmm....and actually for the same price as the crap one I had! So.....the very next day....we loaded up all the kids, and on a beautifully snowy night we purchased our first, freshly cut, Christmas tree!!!!!!! :D (and it was actually cheaper!)
