O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

Dean is such a good Dad and an Awesome husband. He is pretty easy going about most things but one thing he keeps pushing is a Real Christmas Tree. It's a tradition to get a live tree as a family. One really hard thing about this is I like to decorate the day after Thanksgiving and that never works whether it be the weather or Dean not being able to go we don't seem to get one til way to close to Christmas day. I will say this was the most pleasant year so far; that being said... I still hate real trees. They are messy, they fall over, and you have to water them; but all that aside I can't stand that what little branches they do have are to flimsy to hold up ornaments. So this year I opted for a Cedar tree. You know why people don't use Cedar trees? Because they are poky and they will scar you. Anyway we finally got the tree decorated and it has only fallen three times so far.
Next year we are going to compromise. I will decorate a fake tree in the living room upstairs anyway I want. We will still go as a family to get a real one, the kids can pick out whatever one they want, we will decorate it together for fhe. It will just be down stairs, or in their room, or perhaps outside...
