Did you buy and put up a christmas tree this year?
 

Did you buy one yet? or are you going to buy one?

heck yah!

Sure did. Tried the fake ones a few times....can't do them...so it's a real nice douglas fir and huge, because we have nice, high ceilings.

I got it and put it up the weekend after Thanksgiving...the gf's idea.

yuppers! i had mine up before thanksgiving!

sounds like a beauty :)

Also for this poll "christmas tree" covers both fake and real ones

Yep but I got a fake one :)

ofcourse

did mine today, looks great

I have five. I don't even know why since I say every year that I'm not doing this shit next time.

They look good, though.

Of course, I worked up quite a sweat getting it home.

YES we have one , and not only that Mrs FUBAR went and bought some fandangled new Xmas tree stand for $50 :disgust

we have been using the same christmas tree for three years now. it still looks good.

Reusing the one we used last year

Yep! And it is glowing nicely.

What is Christmas without the christmas tree?

The fir tree has a long association with Christianity, it began in Germany almost a 1000 years ago when St Boniface, who converted the German people to Christianity, was said to have come across a group of pagans worshipping an oak tree. In anger, St Boniface is said to have cut down the oak tree and to his amazement a young fir tree sprung up from the roots of the oak tree. St Boniface took this as a sign of the Christian faith. But it was not until the 16th century that fir trees were brought indoors at Christmas time.
