when I was a kid...living. As in, it was in a pot and you can only have the tree inside for a week, then have to plant it outside. That house has about 10 christmas trees on the property...huge ass trees now. Can't remember which years which trees were planted, but it's a cool memory.
now, we don't do anything.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
You too? I rarely come across anyone who is also allergic. I spent the first few years of my existence sick as a dog every Christmas. It wasn't until a doctor pointed out I was allergic to the fire retardant they apply to the trees that they figured it was time for a fake one.
Fake. It's a tradition in my family. I'm going to decorate it (festoons, fake snow, crib and lights) this Monday. No allergies here. I would love to decorate a real one someday.

Fake and obviously so. It's essentially a cut-out of a tree, covered in a red, velvety material. It's only very small, maybe the size of my palm. But I think it's pretty.
Maybe one day, when I'm a proper adult, I'll have a (more) real Christmas tree.

We used to go out and cut our own. Now I just pull the ficus into the living room and decorate it (the Christmas lights, however, stay on the tree all year round).
+1 no room in my apartment and also my 2 cats would probably destroy it

But, I grew up with a real christmas tree every year.
