We havent had one for a many years now.
The kids are all grown and usually spend the holidays elsewhere so it just seems like a lot of hooplah.
I do miss cutting a tree like we did when i was a kid.
We always went out and got a white pine.
I remember traipsing through the snow with my dad and him chopping it down with an axe.
Now a white pine isnt a " good enough" tree..
Its gotta be a high dollar fir tree..BAH HUMBUG
I enjoy buying gifts for people but the trees a thing of the past for me
Christmases used to be about family and friends..now its just about. "Whatd ya get me??
My grandparents used to give us a silver dollar and a bag of candy.
Those were the days.......
IF IDIOTS GREW ON TREES THIS PLACE WOULD BE AN ORCHARD !

Wife puts up 4. I always look forward to them. If it was just me I probably wouldn’t have one.

We have a 3' artificial one it stays decorated year-round and spends most of its time in the basement. When the kids were home, we went out a cut one every year,
