How much did you spend on your Christmas tree? (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=238740)

About 30 dollars for an 8 foot noble fir. Oh had a 5 dollar off coupon so 25. But that is because I live in Oregon where they grow the majority of the xmas trees.

i'm sure i'd be a welcome addition to your neighborhood.:D

Our village has a law that they all have to be down by Feb 1, IIRC. Some of these people just go crazy, trying to outdo each other, and it is fun to watch them out there when it is sub zero taking them down.

Some of these goofballs even go crazy with Halloween decorations! One neighbor still had a coffin out in the front yard, after he had already put out his Christmas spread. Where in the heck does he store all that crap?

We did for a long time as well, but then it has digressed to the 0 of this year.
If our grandsons would visit this time of year, I would be in the same position as sec. Yes Dear!
Hopefully, someday our decorations will be considered antiques, and we will be in the dough.

I used to live in Salem. I really miss the trees we could get there. Our favorites were the Grand Noble firs. Since we cut our own "wild" trees now, they tend to be Blue Spruce, which look nice but have no smell and are prickly as hell (keeps the cats out of it though).

The nice thing about my wife's snowman collection is that snowmen work for all winter, not just at Christmas.

Umbrella tree. It literally unfold like an umbrella in 3 piece with the lights already on it

I knew a woman that put a tree in every room of the house with different themes.

I dropped 25 on a fake. It looks like crap but it's got presents under it so the kids are cool. First time I've ever had to coordinate a Christmas. We call it mutt.

Nada

The folks gave me their fake tree so they could get a bigger one for their new house.

If I wanted a real one, I'd just head out to one of the three mountain ranges surrounding here.

NOT ONE PENNY!!!

Just stopped along side of the highway and stole it like a good little Raider fan.:D
Danm you Chiefs are stunned ....:p

I took the fake one my neighbor threw out last year so I paid zero.

Taxes to support the welfare state of Taxifornia: $48.

Seriously, $50.

Much like most porn star's boobs, mine's fake (and looks REALLY good!!!)...

Then WTF are those trees in your basement under the growlights for
I would bet they would smell great heated up with old fashion candles
