Real or Fake??

[Marilyn. 340]

I was just reading the thread on OT about breast feeding. When I saw the title of this thread, I assumed it would be about titties

I'm sorry people..... can't keep quiet any longer....

Every time I click to the 'Forums' page and I see this poll title 'Real or Fake' in the last post column, I'm thinking 'orgasm'...........

I had no intentions of misleading people

I always use the fake trees and put the multi-colored lights on it.

here is a pic of our Christmas Tree....

our family fake tree growing up was always covered with a mix of store bought ornaments and ornaments us kids made in school etc... I loved it....

Ours was similar. As we had little kids, a dog, and cat running around, we usually had the non-glass ornaments and lots of macaroni atrocities from preschool. Now that we're grown, my mom is finally starting to relax enough to bring out the old glass ornaments.

Since Marilyn posted her tree I wanted to post ours too, another pre lit tree from walmart(but your tree looks a lot bigger Marilyn).

It stinks that the cameras can't capture how sparkly the trees are in real life. You can't even see all the ornaments on our tree in the photo, they didn't show up well.

great tree, Stina .... ours is 7.5 feet... it isn't a pre-lit one either.... did you have to assemble yours? we had to stick all the branches in and "fluff" them all.... that was fun

I was surprised hubby helped me put the decorations up... we had fun doing it together... although a few days later I had to rearrange some of the ornaments ... he clumped a lot of them in one spot

yeah the trees look a lot better in real... Our tree looks really bare compared to yours...

we got some great ornaments from the Dollar Tree Store.... We got these really pretty glass ball ones that have glitter patterns on them.... We also picked out an ornament from Walmart for Noah It is a glass ball with an angel inside...

Thanks, I like your tree too.

Our tree is 6.5 feet, and it was in 3 pieces that had to be put together, instead of all separate branches(the $29-something pre lit tree maybe you saw there). But I had to spend awhile fluffing and arranging to cover the big holes! At first the tree looked pitiful, but after I spent about 45 mins fluffing it started looking normal.

Maybe we overload our tree, I don't know. hehe. We bought some ornaments from walmart, mostly that were 97 cents each. And we also had ornaments left over from our tree 2 years ago, some we made the past couple years, and then my mom gave me some ornaments that they had extra. Last year we just had a tiny fake tree since there wasn't room in our other house to have a normal sized one.

Very sweet about the ornament for Noah.

Very nice Marilyn.

Well I am putting a tree, but in my opinion real trees are more nicer (even thou messy) and looks alot better with single coloured lights and stylish decorations...I hate when ppl go overboard with the bling ...too gaudy!
