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.......

Agree

Only " Charlie Bro8wn" type here, young cedar about 2 foot tall

Cut from the woods, with a few ornaments on it

Day after Christmas it goes into the wood stove

We have gone to the forest and cut a tree every year (sometimes two - one for upstairs and one for downstairs). The outing is the unofficial start of the Christmas season for our family. The tree is just part of the Christmas magic for our grandkids.

We decorate the Christmas cactus!!!

No tree

We don’t do big trees anymore. My wife has about a dozen little tree decorations scattered around the house.

First Thanksgiving now Christmas, you gotta get back in the holiday spirit!!!

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

We grew trees so we got the cull tree, "Charlie Brown" tree.

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,

No tree here have not had one up for years I’m out of the most of the year we have a Charlie Brown tree but that doesn’t even go up now.

We have one in the house and one down at river kitchen. Usually do Christmas with kids/grandkids at house in the morning. Then head down and start fire in river kitchen wood stove. Friends family and neighbors drift in and out all day and night for a cup or two of cheer, or a primer b4 they have to go to family parties.

I've wrote about this on here before, but no tree for years, when the kids were little , the nicest 6' red cedar I could find....now, if I want to decorate, I'll snap off a white spruce branch from the yard and stick it in a flower pot, might add a red ribbon if I can recycle one from something else...lol

I dont i wont apologize for such

I was waiting for your side hustle post on selling xmas trees ?You got to get in the spirit and flee those folks like others do.

Been 15 years at least

Here’s mine-granddaughter made it in Girl Scouts.Upside down tomato cage.

we were doing small trees in a pot the last decade or so I have 5-6 of them that made it on my south fence line being planted a couple days after Christmas

they don't spend much time in the house final December birthday in my house is the 15th so 10 days and then plant it about the 26th or 27th they are typically around 2.5-3 feet with the pot.

If I was in the decorating type I think a banner of a Christmas tree with slots or wires to hang Christmas cards on , spend 2 minutes rolling it out , hang on the wall in the dining room , hang all the Christmas cards on it.
since I am not really the decorating type I just have a wire under the plate rail I hang the Christmas cards on

I should go look , I think my wife bought Christmas cards , I know she made me buy stamps before the price went up , guess it would be about time to start sending those now that we are in Dec
