I understand. I suppose everyone is different. Guess I was just thinking back many years ago when I was single, and living alone in a studio apartment. One Christmas in particular, I was really low on money and had little more than enough to just pay my bills that month. But no matter what, I was determined to have a Christmas tree.

So I went to a small car lot where some guy had set up a (temporary) tree lot, and I asked him for the cheapest tree he sold. He showed me one (about 4 feet high) for $10.00, and it was scrawny and uneven--a real Charlie Brown Christmas tree. I said, "sold!"

So I dragged the corpse of a tree (it was dropping needles like crazy along the way--we're talking deader than dead! :hilarious: ) up to my apartment, put it in a bucket of water, and put on some old ornaments that I had brought with me from home. Voila. I thought it was beautiful. :p I had my Christmas after all. :happy:

I had a similar Christmas the year after my dad died. I was living a couple of thousand miles from home, had just been fired from my part-time job for taking time off to go to my father's funeral, so money was pretty tight...I had the scrawniest tree, but it really lifted my spirits.

We went to Wal-Mart today to stock up on supplies so we can avoid shopping til after Christmas, and guess what we saw? Real cut Christmas trees!:eek:
They weren't selling them yet, but they were there...5 weeks before Christmas.

You might as well get them early because they are as dead as they are ever going to be and at least you'd have a while before they start to shed the needles.
