It was bueatiful, realitively inexpensive (from the local grocery store), and smelled wonderful. It also was a pain, and dried out way too quickly. In the 9 years I have lived on my own I have done probably 4 years of real trees and 5 years of fake. This is our third year of fake tree in a row and while the simplicity of it is wonderful I think I am ready for another real tree again next year.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05424336265089036857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8794387962019362395.post-63947588736292789322008-12-19T10:00:00.000-06:002008-12-19T10:00:00.000-06:00We've got fake!
