Christmas Lights

[seedcorn]

Hello everybody. DH and I saw some 6.5' Douglas Furs at a local store here in Fl. for $120...
kinda steep. Our kids have grown and we usually get a small modest tree. I should have started a tree farm.

For $120, fake tree is fine. Plant one in yard, decorate it.

I love my fake tree because I can keep it up longer. It looks realistic enough to suit me. But if it came down to spending $120 for a real live one, in think I'd just head out to the woods and get me a little Charlie Brown black pine or red cedar that grow wild here. I remember several times we had done that as a kid. After my parents divorced we didn't have much and my brother and I would go out and find one. Nice memories I hadn't thought of in a long awhile.

I'm cheap and do the Charlie Brown tree off the property most years. They always look a lot fuller out in the woods for some reason.

My dad used to go out and cut a cedar out of Grandpa's woods. They sure were prickly. You could only hang ornaments on the outside of the branches--no deep diving if you value your skin.

I don't decorate. I love it!

So far Gypsy has not helped with the outdoor lights. All those hung so far required a ladder to the roof. When we decorate the bushes, she might dig in. I'm guessing she will be the major indoor Christmas tree decorator, however.

After all your sons hard work you need to post photo of night time.

I will try to get some pictures when I feel better.
