This year, facing extensive shoulder reconstruction on Friday, we bought a fake tree. And I'm glad we did. No needles to drive us insane for months afterwards, and no rush to take it down, since I won't be able to do anything for at least two weeks after my surgery. We may go back to a real tree a few years from now, but right now, I need the convenience of the fake tree. Who knows, if my recovery doesn't go well, I may not be able to take the tree down until March! LOL We did a real tree for almost ten years.
