Nothing beats a real tree

This is our 3rd year with a real tree. Man nothing beats it especially fresh cut.

I would like to do another real one but it was a PIA and my wife ain't going for it..............................

 

 

 

 

Did I ever mention the time it fell over Xmas eve?   Oh crappppppppp!

[Doc]

Yeah, in a few days, I will be going down in the basement, pulling the sheet off the tree and bringing it upstairs .... lights and all. Just have to put the ornaments on and some icicles and she's ready to go (just a few minutes).

 

Many years ago, wife got tired of sweeping up needles. No problem with that anymore. We have so much crap on that tree that you would never know whether it was real or not without walking up to it and poking around

My Douglas fir has been up for a week now. I save the needles from the trimmings and make tea. Not that I'm a tea kinda guy, but they are loaded with vitamins/antioxidants

We cut ours every year. Today would have perfect but the wife was away for the weekend- next week it is hoping there ae some good ones left

That's a beauty....

Real trees are the best. Last few years we have gone and cut our own. Its a lot of effort, but we both really enjoy picking our own tree, cutting it down and bringing it home. Nothing like the smell of real fresh tree.

Fresh cut real ones are so easy and no mess. 3rd year in a row cutting them down right in Monticello. Zero needles for 5+ weeks.

I like the real ones too. The wife and i get one every year.

My grandfather passed away 2 years ago. He was 94. He had the same fake tree that he bought in the 70's. After X-mas he would have me or my brother/ cousins carry it to the attic with the lights and ornaments attached. The next year we would carry it down stairs and he would just plug it in. When we talked about the real trees we bought, and what we paid for them every year, he would always call us "idiots" LOL!!!

Real trees are the way to go. Love going with the family and cutting them down.

I shot some Varmints for a Tree Farmer a few years ago . His wife said how much do you charge and I told her nothing . She said ," we''ll have to fix that . When the season gets here , you will have a free tree " . Got a Fraser Fir . It replaced our old "JB Hunter" artificial tree and we have been buying a real tree since then . Paid $40 for a pre-cut  Fraser Fir tree at Wilberts in Webster . They were $30 if you cut your own . It was worth the extra $10 not to have to wander around and lay on the ground to cut one down !

Love real trees and all the memories of going to cut our own....some great laughs over more than a few adventures with the kids....This year our son went and cut us one when he got his...We taught him well ...it's a beauty..

nice tree john!

[First-light]

We won ours in a Pub raffle this year. Can't beat it and it's a real nice fresh tree.

[WNYBuckHunter]

I have never had a fake tree. Not sure if i ever would.

[bubba]

I refuse to murder a perfectly good tree to stick it in my house.  (j/K)  But when I am here alone and will go to my daughters for the holiday, so I put up the artificial at the insistance of my daughter

Wow !

When I read the title the first thing that popped into my head was Realtree the camo company! LOL.

We've put up a real tree for the last 12 years since we found out my son was allergic to fake ones (dust mites etc - go figure). All our trees have been between 6-8 footers except our first year in our house 21 yrs ago I brought home a 14 footer which fit nicely in our living room with 16 foot ceilings. This year the wife is trying to convince me and the kids to get a table top tree since we are going away for a week after Christmas. We put our feet down and said no. So there....

I really like Concolor...or however it is spelled. Love the fragrance it gives off. PLus the time spent with family is priceless.

Thats what we get aswell, love it!

[fasteddie]

Are you supposed to put "fake water" on a fake tree ? Hmmmmmmm .

[crappyice]

Crazy schedules did not allow for the traditional trip to cut down our own this year- grabbed one at Stew Leonard's - real nice- kids may have enjoyed the ease too much. May be tough getting them back to cutting it down next year
