Rashes all over my arms and hands as I decorate the tree or get too close to it. So, it's a fake tree from Ikea for us! I miss the evergreen smell, but not the watering or needles on the floor...jane dávilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01154488051571156643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-87847120399661460642007-12-03T19:39:00.000-08:002007-12-03T19:39:00.000-08:00Last year we bought a small tree in a pot for our ...Last year we bought a small tree in a pot for our Christmas decoration. It was moved out to the back porch in January and we sit by it every day while we drink a cup of coffee (tea). It's been watered regularly and now it is about to make it's trip inside the house for this Christmas. It grew about six inches during the year. I'm happy with this choice. There are no tree farms around here.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for showing us why French doors won't work in your new house.Christine Threshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07472999420963274439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-87342581551315912222007-12-03T14:22:00.000-08:002007-12-03T14:22:00.000-08:00I live up in WA near Bremerton where they got 8.5 ...I live up in WA near Bremerton where they got 8.5 inches of rain since midnight TODAY! And Hiway 16, going to Bremerton, is closed in Gorst, which is a bend in the road, by sea water/rain mix.

It is really hard for me to believe that an artificial tree made in Asia and shipped here with all its packaging can be more green than a tree I hand cut in the next town 10 miles away. Even for the 15 years that an artificial one is supposed to last, I've still spent less carbon energy in the long run. And the benefit to the local economy is a big plus. The one we actually bought was sold to benefit the local fire department and was cut nearby. It's in the garage waiting to be brought in and set up. I'm sure glad we got it Saturday before all this snow we're getting today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-47213977808779258542007-12-03T09:58:00.000-08:002007-12-03T09:58:00.000-08:00I'm completely with you on the live tree thing.

They are replanted year after year (otherwise no farm for the next year!) and so I can't see the harm in it.atethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563533672161608587noreply@blogger.com
