Christmas Trees!

kwrecks · November 2013

So it seems like a lot of A13ers are putting their Christmas trees up over the next week.....and I wanna see them all! So, if you have your tree up, post a picture of it!

MommyKristin88 · November 2013

That is so disrespectful to Thanksgiving!!! No Christmas trees! lol

Moosesoar · November 2013

We probably will wait until Dec. 1st to put ours up, though, I'm trying to figure out where we will put ours. We have so much baby stuff taking up all the room. lol

lkobriant · November 2013

Ours will go up this weekend because we'll be out of town next weekend. We too have to rearrange baby things to get it up.

Revez · November 2013

Ask again next week!

kwrecks · November 2013

I really think the only reason ours isnt up yet is because LOs swing is in the spot where the tree goes.

I know a lot of people havent put them up yet but I know there has to be some people that have them up!

Moosesoar · November 2013

I may not have my tree up yet, but I totally have been watching cheesy made for tv Christmas movies!
My guilty pleasure this time of year. $:\$ ">

Cosmic+Love · November 2013

Well, ours is going up tomorrow. We want to take Christmas card pictures with it. And I can't wait to see what LO thinks of the lights. Here it is...

BellaOso · November 2013

I will get back to you on Sunday!

AprilRaine · November 2013

Ours is going up next weekend. Until then I may just hang out in the lowes garden center and smell all the live trees. Mmmmmmm... Tree smell.

Texasmomma13 · November 2013

I'm in the process of decorating but it takes me a while. I'll get back to you next week when my house looks like Christmas threw up on it.

PB102012 · November 2013

We are going to get ours next Friday.

TexasGirl81 · November 2013

Woohoo! I'm in!

V&G101808 · November 2013

No! No! No! No! No!

Ours will go up next weekend. We buy a real tree and this year I'm buying all new decorations because I want a new theme. I'm doing burlap and creams

amarissa85 · November 2013

Family tradition is to put it up thanksgiving day so we will be putting ours up then. I bought extra ornaments a few weeks ago.

danal613 · November 2013

Day after thanksgiving ours goes up. It maybe delayed this year because I'm getting a new decorations. Currently looking on Pintrest for inspiration/ideas.

magdalina.h · November 2013

We're putting it up this weekend. Probably won't decorate until Thanksgiving night. I just want Lucas to get used to it being out before the ornaments go up.

BelhurstBride · November 2013

Ours will go up next Friday. We'll cut down a real one at my parent's house.

LokiLahve · November 2013

I have a friend who has had hers up since before Halloween. Wtf.

My decorations will go up this weekend but no tree until we get back from thanksgiving in OH.

Also...I'm pretty sure I'm leaving decorations up a week later than usual since thanksgiving was so lazy about getting here this year.

janneann1127 · November 2013

Ugh I'm dreading thinking about it already. I love seeing the tree but the work of putting it up, cleaning up the needles constantly, and keeping my toddler away from it... exhausting!

MitsB707 · November 2013

Ours will go up next weekend. Super excited!!!

kwrecks · November 2013

Okay well since there isn't many pictures to put up yet, how about a bit of a poll?

What kind of tree do you have each year, real or fake?

Growing up, we always had a real tree. But when DH and I moved in together, he already had a small fake tree, and we've just been using that each year, since we lived in a top floor apartment and we didn't want the hassle of bringing it up 4 flights of stairs. Now that we bought a house, I am still going to use the fake tree this year, but next year, I plan on going out and getting a real tree.

MommyAmes2 · November 2013

We are planning to get a real tree this year. Which I am excited about! Ours will go up next weekend.

Ha! I was thinking the same thing! Gotta move some of this baby stuff to make room for the tree. Anyone else remember when their home seemed so spacious? Before baby gear invaded.

MommyKristin88 · November 2013

We use fake trees. We always had real growing up and I hated them. I hated the smell and the shedding pine needles that constantly had to be cleaned up. No thank you!

V&G101808 · November 2013

Real tree or no tree. That's my rule

KQuinonez · November 2013

I have to buy a new one as half the lights went out on mine last year. I am super picky so hopefully I can find one next week

LokiLahve · November 2013

Mine won't go up till after thanksgiving as I said already....but it went up at the office today!!!! Woop woop!!!

kwhite27 · November 2013

Mine went up yesterday. DH is gone until Christmas Eve now so it needed to happen! Usually I wait until at least Dec 1st.

Revez · November 2013

@LokiLahve your office is so empty! Even with the tree! I'd so have a dance party.

We have a fake tree. I wish we could do real, but my cats would eat it and it seems like a lot of work. To be fair it's like 12' high and gorgeous once it's actually up.

Growing up my parents had this god awful fake white tree. Over the years it just turned yellow. They finally chucked it and now have this tree that looks like someone threw up Christmas ornaments on it, you can't even see the tree.

LokiLahve · November 2013

@zever000 that's just the lobby, no one is ever out there. I'm so excited though cause they throw a "breakfast with Santa" the Saturday before Christmas. Employees take their kids in for a pic with Santa, breakfast and crafts and they get stockings! I can't wait!

BlueJewelM · November 2013

Fake tree since kids.

My toddler cannot keep away from the tree last year at gparents house. It was awful. He'd get all "sappy" and sticky. Ugh. Or he'd put pine needles in his mouth. He's 2 years and 3 months old now, so I think this year the challenge will be keeping ornaments on it!

I miss the real tree smell. But Yankee candles do a decent job.

kkay1982 · November 2013

Real tree here. Just have to figure out how to fit one this year with all the baby stuff that has taken over out apartment.

Critter015 · November 2013

We do a real tree. Last year DD was 10 months old at Christmas and almost walking on her own, so we got a smallish tree and cut it to fit on top of our dining room table so she couldn't reach it. We put all the presents on the table around it and it was awesome because she couldn't get to them either. This year she's tall enough to grab things off the table and pull out a chair and climb on it, and we try to actually eat at the table, so I'm not sure what we'll do!

girlmama83 · November 2013

I don't know where the hell we are going to put it this year. Baby stuff has consumed the living room.

Smom901316 · November 2013

Fake tree because I am allergic to pine

ours is up since we are going out of town for the week and we want it up when we come back . Emma didn't seem to mind

ELauren88 · November 2013

We spend black Friday putting up our decorations. But we have a 3 ft pre lit faux tree. After the holidays we want to buy a bigger one since we have a kid now, but I dont think I could upkeep a real one!

Bunnyfer · November 2013

No tree yet as we do real, plus living in Fl they die quicker, so we getting our tree by mid Dec. Dh wants a 7-8ft tree this year. The airport tree went up though at work...will get a pic of it...its huge

MrsLaurenAsh · November 2013

Always had a real tree growing up.. My office was going to throw out an amazing (and expensive) fake tree several years ago so I took it and we've been using it. I'm thinking about doing a real one this year. It would be nice to start a new tradition and I love the smell.. We'll see.

I love seeing the pictures, but I don't put ours up until after Thanksgiving dinner or the next day.

FeetFirst · November 2013

We had a small fake tree, but last year once DS was old enough (2.5) to really get Christmas, we went real. We will do real until the kids outgrow the tradition (if they ever do) of cutting it down with dad. We get a permit and go out into the wilderness to find ours.

Here is last years tree

10 feet tall, it was beautiful.
