The reason I came up with the Christmas Tree Poll is that this year is different for us. No pets! Therefore, we can put up whatever we want.
We have several artificial trees; we've used those for many years--from 2 ft to 7 ft at one time. I think our 'current' ones are a 5 ft and 2 that are maybe 4 ft. They've always been put on solid end tables, due to having cats running around the house. And of course, the 2 ft one--it's been everywhere from here on my desk to on the counter in our main bathroom!
I have no idea where/what we'll actually put up this year. It's too early to even think about that! My husband will want to decorate the weekend after Thanksgiving, so we have plenty of time to think about it.
But in doing that Poll, I had an idea. I guess it'll depend on how the budget works out in December. I'd kind of like maybe getting a small, real tree for a change. Yes, it can get messy. And you have to be careful to keep it watered so that the needles don't dry out. But the 'smell' is fantastic.
Again, this is just a random idea. I have no idea what my husband will think about it! As I said...there's plenty of time to think it over.
