Since my husband and I have lived together (yes we lived in sin for 3 years) we have always had a fake Christmas tree.
Our first tree looked like this, but ever so less tasteful:
He grew up with fake trees as his parents run a daycare, so to him this fake Christmas tree deal was normal. I however grew up with huge ass big real Christmas trees.
I have fond memories as a child seeing this huge tree strapped to our station wagon, dwarfing it in the process.
You see we had a 15 food cathedral ceiling, and every year we managed to get a tree that “just” fit. And wouldn’t you know it, every year it would fall.
Now we had to have fake trees while we rented, but it’s been 3 years since we’ve been in our home and because its our little guy’s first Christmas, I thought real tree it is!
Now I had two concerns, one being fire and two being the cats. See I know cats love to play in, around, and on Christmas trees. and when we were kids, they always managed to knock it down.
So today hubby went to go get a stand for the tree, and we’re going to attempt to bring this huge tree inside. pictures to follow!
We are going and getting ours this coming weekend. SO excited! I cant wait to see how yours turns out.
I always grew up with fake trees too. So our first year in our own place we got a real tree. One year of needles everywhere was enough to cure me of that. lol
Yay!!! Dominic’s first and Miguel’s first REAL Christmas tree! That is very exciting. Can’t wait to see pics. I bet you guys are all getting excited with this being Dominic’s first Christmas!! Can’t wait to see pics of your tree!!
