Update on Christmas lights and trees

Last week I blogged about the fact that I wasn’t seeing as many outdoor Christmas displays as last year. Since then I’ve noticed an increase. Perhaps people just got a late start this year. I’m doing my part. We put up our outdoor display last night. It’s not as big as last year, but it adds to the holiday landscape. Maybe smaller displays are the way to go.
On another holiday note, we put up a real tree this year after several years of putting up an artificial one. I prefer the artificial because you can put it up real early and don’t have to vacuum up pine needles. My sons and wife were in favor of a real tree. Guess who won? I’m wondering if others have switched back to real trees and why? Let me know.

I have always had an artificial tree. I refuse to be a slave to a real tree by constantly watering and running the vacuum. I have a nicely shaped 6 foot spruce and have been very happy with it for years. I really don't think you can tell it is artificial unless you touch it.
