When we got real trees they were Blue Spruce…they smell good and the dog loved to eat them. Now we have an artificial fiberoptic because no one wants to go out and pick a tree anymore. ---

Frazier fir are the way to go. Almost as strong as a blue spruce for hanging heavy ornaments but the needles are not stiff and jaggy like a blue spruce. If you like a longer needle tree, douglas fir are a good choice. Scotch pine are what you’ll see a ton of sitting on tree lots (and most likely the cheapest) but don’t tend to hold the needles as well nor look nearly as nice as the other varieties mentioned. BTW, did I mention my family owns a Christmas tree farm just outside Monongahela 😃 ---

> [@Guess this car.](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/guess-this-car/26131/152): > > Charlie Brown Agreed! Artificial!!! Last year my roommate wanted a real tree bc she gets one every year. I hadnt decorated since I moved out of my parents house, so I figured what the hell. My cat busted every bulb from the middle of the tree down, and then one day I came home from work and the whole thing was laying on the ground. Water and pine needles everywhere. The needles were a bitch to get out of the carpet!!! I will never buy another real tree unless I dont have any animals. Yah, I agree with fuck xmas! bah humbug PS- Hycomp…did u go to Ringgold? ---
