Christmas Tree
We've been cutting a fresh one now for MANY years. Started with the kids and now with them and their kids! The day after Thanksgiving is the day. Fun and many great memories. What do you guys do for your Xmas trees?

Usually take them to a collection place

Grow them on the farm.
Don't even put one up in the house.

Put on the tall boots, go out the back door and down the hill a few hundred yards, pick a nice one and whack it.
Christmas, Soprano style.

My wife puts up a fake tree. If I had my way we'd adhere to Jeremiah 10:2-5.

Extended family has been going to the same general spot (National Forest) since the late 70s...usually the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Most of us have specific clothing items we wear each year to commemorate. The convoy of tree-laden trucks then heads to one of the family homes where there's hot food, cold drinks, and a warm fire to thaw cold toes, celebrate another successful outing, and finalize plans for the next 5 weeks. Can't miss event...fourth generation just starting to attend.

Mine is up! I have a strange tree....its got lots of things that the kids made when they were little. The odd stuff really is all the Star Trek and Star Wars things that are on it along with the other ornaments we've picked up. There's the leg lamp, lots of muppets, some Marvel characters, a few cartoon stars like the elf, yukon, and bumbles from the Christmas cartoons. Its a massive conglomerate of nonsense that I look forward to seeing each year.

We stopped Christmas treeing when the youngest was old enough to realize it was a fake holiday. Now the Grandkids are at that stage so why waste the effort?

When the kids were at home we always harvested a fresh tree and had fun doing it...Now the wife puts up a fake one... 🎄

We just take ours out of the cardboard box and the wife hangs shiny stuff on it.

My mother used to have a ceramics business. We have had the same ceramic Christmas tree since 1968. Only had to change the bulb once.

Growing up we did the live tree for years with a twist. Daddy would dig up a small cedar tree and put it in a wash tub . After Christmas it got planted in the yard . When the kids were small we did the live tree . Now it is an artificial one .

Last Christmas I took our fake tree out of the box that was stored down in the basement and set it up in the living room. After the wife had it decorated she noted that the darn thing smelled very musty. Another day of her complaining, I drug the entire decorated tree out of the house and left it out on the front deck where it sat until the Spring thaw.
I then drug it out to the garage and placed it in between my Kubota tractor and my truck where it still stands tall and decorated to this very day!! 🙂
