My new realization has been that "real" trees are actually fairly common to have at Christmas. I grew up with a tree from a box covered in an awful layer of fake snow. Once assembled, it sort had the shape of a banana which got worse each year! As I came into the world of holiday responsibilities, I was forced to deal with the pitying looks of others as I stayed tried and true to my own version of my childhood tree (I have a pre-lit!) This year I was overruled by my husband and son and we now have a beautiful real, live Christmas tree! But with all of the lousy needles it decorates my floor with, I am looking foward to creating a burning ritual of my own this year! Oh, doesn’t this ring true for me!

I don't take mine down till Jan 2nd. And I hate it. I HATE it not because its the end of Christmas but because ripping lights off the now sharp needles make little prickle holes in my arms and hands. That and I am lazy. LMAO! I don’t take mine down till Jan 2nd. And I hate it.
