Your Christmas tree specifications

1. No. This is the sole reason that I had kids.

2. White power! Ooh, this could get me cancelled!!

3. God No, too much mess! You’re still sweeping tinsel up on The 4th Of July.

4. Beads or ribbons yes.

5. One pre-lit artificial tree and one real one which we usually cut down at the local tree farms. I’m still sweeping up stray pine needles every 4th Of July but my wife insists…

I use the little tree my ex mother-in-law sends me every year. It's a small potted tree already decorated with lights very cute😀

1. Do you enjoy putting ornaments on your Christmas tree?

Yes I do :) In fact, one of the things I've enjoyed about most of our ornaments are the stories and memories behind them. We keep a stock of colorful, metallic Christmas ball ornaments and candy canes, but the real beauties are the unique ornaments that don't have duplicates, or are part of a small set. There are a few ornaments that are personally mine that I keep in my room the rest of the year, just so they don't get lost or broken in the garage (we've moved a lot and subsequently "lost" many ornaments over the years to the "box black holes" known as our basements or garages).

2. Do you prefer white lights or multicolored lights on your tree?

Multicolored. White lights are so boring. We always use multi-colored lights that can be programmed to do different patterns, based on the control box on the cord. Dad has also introduced me to bubble lights, which I think are both retro and fun to watch, so sometimes we have put a string of those on the tree too. Only difficult part is making sure they're pointing upright so the bubbles go up.

3. Yes or no to tinsel?

Yes. I love tinsel. I'll even put tinsel around the house and sometimes on outdoor things like porch pillars or porch railings.

4. Yes or no to strings of popcorn or beads?

No. Never had a use for those, and I hear trying to make cranberry bead garlands are a pain in the butt.

5. Is your tree real or artificial?

I've been raised to use artificial trees because they're far less of a hassle than real ones, make less of a mess, you only have to buy them once, and you can use them over and over again. Plus, no sap, no pine needles on the floor, and no having to deal with water needs of the tree.

1. Sometimes. I do realize it can be tedious. But we haven't had a Christmas Tree in a while.

2. Multicolored Lights

3. Yes

4. Probably not.

5. Artificial. We have used a real tree before, though.

1. Do you enjoy putting ornaments on your Christmas tree?

Yes, but I don't like messing around with lights, which always seen to go out and have to be replaced.

2. Do you prefer white lights or multicolored lights on your tree?

I have multiple trees,(4), most have white lights, but I have a small tree decorated only with multi colored lights that I keep in the game room where my cats stay because they will destroy anything else. So far this year they have only knocked it over once.

3. Yes or no to tinsel?

No to tinsel.

4. Yes or no to strings of popcorn or beads?

I have a pencil tree in my kitchen that is decorated with popcorn and antique cookie cutters that belonged to my grandmother.

5. Is your tree real or artificial?

All are artificial and the biggest which is 7 feet tall is storred in a large tree bag. Every year the branches have to be fluffed out and rearranged - I really don't enjoy doing that. I love real trees but I can't handle then and as previously mentioned, I hate putting lights on.

1. Yes, very much
2. Yes to both, lights are lights
3. Yes to tinsel, tinsel is part of the smell of Christmas for me
4. No to popcorn, yes to beads, just to avoid ants
5. Artificial, knew a guy who's real tree was full of spiders (I'm guessing it wasn't processed properly with pesticides?), so once he had all the lights turned on, all you saw were the shadows of spiders reflected on the wall behind it, and that's not for me.
