You know, I’ve been hearing that a lot. 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. =)

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. 😀

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.

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! Actually, I kind of wish I did have a tree of gold. I’d…sorry, I get easily distracted sometimes. =)

Oh and fake trees mean you don’t have to kill or dispose of live ones! It’s kinder! Better for the environment! See how altruistic you are?

You know, they are making those fake trees more and more realistic looking! Pretty sure the cats smell the plastic and thing…”Eh…not worth it.” =)

See? Even more sound reasons to go the fake route. =)
