I've got the best of the Christmas tree world. Living alone, as I do, with no one to please but myself, I don't have to put up a tree. And I can have my holiday any time I want it. A few years ago my Texas grand daughter came to my house for Christmas and she brought a little box of ornaments (because I had given all mine away). So I bought one of those tiny living trees at the grocery store and we decorated that tree. Now it's planted in the leopard yard and it's about 6' tall. I don't miss holidays at all. Bah humbug!

Lol!!! I’m not quite that bad but I’m sure glad I don’t live in Germany @Bee62 because decorating is too much work to only enjoy for 1 day... but I bet your Leopards are proud of their tree [emoji4]

I'm only half joking about decorating the cat tree(s) instead of putting up a tree for Christmas...

I'm all for artificial Christmas trees. Real trees are a charming thought, but our "ornaments" are self-loading. ;)

I was SO close to buying a fake pre-lit tree last year.... but when it came down to it, I just couldn’t do it.. I actually felt guilty!!! I have always had a real problem with real oversized trees.. I can’t help myself!!!

I finally broke down and bought an artificial tree. The clean up was killing me [emoji851]
