We had fake for most of my childhood life...but eventually talked our parents into the reel deal. Yes, it definately made a mess...and living on the 2nd floor just made that mess even bigger ...but I liked the fact that it was real...and smelled nice. Funny thing, the year that I moved out...my parents went right back to the ol' fake one that had been stored for all those years.
When I got married we had "the Christmas tree discussion". I said I wanted nothing but the real thing. Finally having my own home, I always had visions of a nice REAL 9 - 10 footer all perty and all....we shopped for one ......but - - (I lost) - We have a FAKE pre-lit tree, looks OK, but the feelings gone...she uses those "plug-in" air fresheners with the Pine scent...yeah, smells Christmassy...but ...
.
Question on these pre-lit trees...???
The first one we brought home had a cord of dead lights. We returned it and got another one. ...but.....what's the life expectency on the lights it comes with and what do you do aside from unstringing that particular line of lights and replacing it? There was a"Hot Line" phone number on the box, but this isn't rocket science, I imagine all I can do is replace the lights after unweaving the damn thing....
Oh wait !!!
.....it's HER treeeee, she can worry about .........I'll keep worrying about the important things during the holiday season
