That people are allergic to them! It never dawned on me that there might be a medical reason to switch over to fake...I just got all lazy and that was reason enough for me! Maybe you could pick up a little Charlie Brown tabletop tree to have in the corner? I remember living in an apartment one year and a tiny little shrub is all we could afford. We decorated the heck out of that thing with a $3 string of lights and hair accessories. =) Mindy You know, I’ve been hearing that a lot. That people are allergic to them!

In fact, I have the tree that my parents first bought in their marriage! That thing has been beat to hell and back, and still looks decent. LOL My dad and step-mother argued one year about the tree, 'cause my step-brother really wanted a real tree. The parental units caved in and bought one. That was the year we found out I was allergic to them. Oh, and so was my dad!! Guess who hasn't had a real tree since. :-D We haven't had room to put up a tree in 5 years. Even our new place is too small for one, if we wanted to put one up. We always had a fake tree, growing up. In fact, I have the tree that my parents first bought in their marriage!

Yes, you do need to trade up! Those pre-lit trees are worth their weight in gold...especially with gold worth so much right now! Actually, I kind of wish I did have a tree of gold. I'd...sorry, I get easily distracted sometimes. =) Mindy Oh, man! Yes, you do need to trade up! Those pre-lit trees are worth their weight in gold…especially with gold worth so much right now!
