…Christmas trees? :thankyou: :biglol: So which do you prefer? Fake ones are getting pretty realistic looking and are way convenient, but we opted for a real one. We got a Fraser Fir from that family operating at Andersons on Sheridan in Tonawanda. Great place. The tree is nice and healthy, price was OK, but my favorite part was that I was helped by a kid that’s about 12 years old that was more courteous and professional than most adults I run into. It’s nice to see a young kid that isn’t a spoiled brat or ghetto thug wannabe. I’ll post pics soon. I’ll show you mine if you show me yours! :gay3: ---

we buy real trees. usually spend $35 or so. its great with the family and dog always messing with it. I may fance it off with a play yard si i dont have to keep yelling at them, and picking the tinsle icicle things up all the time. a prelit fake would be nice, but i hate adding to the mess that is my basement. not to mention that fresh basement smell every year… (gotta love tonawnada) ---
