This is our 2nd year having an artificial Christmas tree. (Or as my family calls it: FAKE. Say that with contempt and disdain and all things negative.)
I have loved it. Not worrying about the water, the falling needles, having to take it down Christmas night or the day after because of safety.
Now I have discovered the danger of having an artificial tree: keeping it up! All of Christmas is down now except the tree. I just don't want to gear up to tackle the job. I tell myself everyday that today is the day. And then I get into something else and talk myself out of it.
I am still enjoying it's 'glow' of minilights. I'm a sucker for those.
